The sources show multiple independent origins for uses of 'Atlantia.' A classical attestation appears in name-lists as 'Atlanteia or Atlantia,' described in a disambiguation note as a Hamadryad nymph who consorted with Danaus (Wikipedia disambiguation). In modern usage the name is repurposed: Ally Condie's novel uses Atlantia as the underwater city setting of the story told by the protagonist Rio (Atlantia (novel) page); Battlestar media sources apply Atlantia as the name of one or more battlestars (Battlestar Wiki clones); organizations and groups (Kingdom of Atlantia in the Society for Creative Anachronism, Legio XXIV Media Atlantia for Nova Roma) adopt the name as a regional or unit designation (SCA pages, Nova Roma page); and Wikidata lists Atlantia as a genus of cnidarian (Wikidata entry). The provided materials do not trace these usages to a single traditional origin or a continuous mythic figure.
No single, consistent physical description is attested for an entity named 'Atlantia' in the provided sources. The classical form 'Atlanteia/Atlantia' is only recorded as a Hamadryad name without descriptive detail. In modern contexts 'Atlantia' denotes a place (the underwater city in the novel, with protagonist Rio described as 'from the underwater city of Atlantia' but without city visuals in the provided excerpt), vessels in science-fiction (battlestars named Atlantia), organizational regions (SCA kingdom insignia and awards pages reference the polity name), and a biological genus entry (Wikidata lists Atlantia as a cnidarian genus but the sources give no species morphology).
The cited sources do not ascribe supernatural powers, behaviors, or consistent agency to an 'Atlantia' entity. The only mythic attestation is a name-form categorized as a Hamadryad in a disambiguation note, which by typology places it among tree-nymph name-lists in Greek myth, but the provided materials do not supply any attributes, deeds, or powers specific to Atlanteia/Atlantia. Modern fictional and organizational uses function as place- or unit-names rather than descriptions of supernatural capabilities.
*Péh₂usōn (reconstructed)
Péh₂usōn is a hypothetical Proto‑Indo‑European pastoral guardian reconstructed by comparative scholars from parallels in Greek and Vedic traditions. Proposed as a Graeco‑Aryan ancestor‑figure, the reconstruction describes a protector of flocks, roads, and travellers rather than an attested historical cultic personality.
3-D Man
3-D Man is a Marvel Comics superhero identity associated with a 1950s-era origin in which the body of Chuck Chandler can materialize in three-dimensional existence when activated by his brother Hal via a pair of glasses. The mantle was later assumed by Delroy Garrett (formerly Triathlon) in modern continuity.
5 Ronin
5 Ronin is a 2011 Marvel Comics five-issue limited series that reimagines five Marvel superhero archetypes as rōnin (masterless samurai) in a fictionalized post‑Sekigahara feudal Japan. The work places Wolverine, Hulk, Punisher, Psylocke, and Deadpool analogues into period roles to explore displacement, revenge, and identity in an era of political upheaval.
58 Concordia
58 Concordia is a fairly large main-belt asteroid orbiting the Sun, discovered in 1860 and named after the Roman goddess Concordia. Astronomical sources classify it as a C-type (carbonaceous) body with a multi-year orbital period and measurable rotation and pole orientations.
9MOTHER9HORSE9EYES9
An anonymous Reddit screen name and online persona used by the author of the Interface series, a multipart speculative-horror narrative posted in short installments across Reddit in 2016. The name functions as the signature of an authorial identity and as a focal label for a fandom that created archives, a subreddit, and a wiki documenting the story and its fictional phenomena (notably entities called "flesh interfaces").
A Elbereth Gilthoniel
An Elvish hymn in Sindarin addressed to Elbereth (Varda) from J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. Presented in The Lord of the Rings and later musical and dramatic adaptations, the hymn functions as devotional poetic language that evokes Elvish reverence for the star-kindler rather than an independent supernatural agent.
A.R.G.U.S.
A.R.G.U.S. is a fictional clandestine United States government agency in the DC Comics universe that investigates, contains, and manages superhuman, meta-human, and supernatural incidents and assets. Introduced in The New 52 continuity, it functions as an institutional actor providing intelligence, logistical support, covert task forces (notably Task Force X / the Suicide Squad), and a dedicated magic division across comics and media adaptations.
Aba (disambiguation / name-form)
Aba is a polyvalent name-form attested across many unrelated contexts (place names, personal names, animal names, and brief mythological listings). The provided sources do not support a single, coherent supernatural entity called "Aba" and offer no descriptive or ritual material for such a being.
Abarbarea
Abarbarea is a name attested in classical Greek and Roman sources for freshwater nymphs (naiads). The name appears for at least two individual mythic figures — a naiad wife of Bucolion and a naiad counted among ancestors of the Tyrians — and Hesychius records plural forms that may indicate the name was also used as a class-name (Abarbareai / Abarbalaiai).
Abas
Abas (Ancient Greek: Ἄβας, gen.: Ἄβαντος) is not a single mythic being but a recurring personal name borne by multiple mortals and minor mythic figures in Greek epic and genealogical traditions — kings, founders, seers, warriors, attendants, a centaur, and a youth transformed by a goddess. The name is glossed in the sources as 'guileless' or 'good-hearted' and appears across Argive, Theban, Trojan, Euboean, and other local cycles.
Abderus
Abderus (Ancient Greek: Ἄβδηρος, romanized Ábdēros) is a mortal heroic figure in Greek myth closely associated with Heracles, remembered as the youth left in charge of the Mares of Diomedes who was killed by them. He functions as an eponymous local/divine-hero ancestor for the city of Abdera and received funerary commemoration and athletic agones at his tomb.
Abena Mansa
A name attested in a single contemporary Ghanaian blog anecdote as a 'mysterious being'; available sources do not establish Abena Mansa as a coherent, traditional supernatural figure or provide corroborating ethnographic detail.
