Digueillus is a legendary king in Celtic folklore, from Britain. Digueillus is a legendary/pseudo‑historical king of the Brythons recorded in Geoffrey of Monmouth's regnal tradition and later medieval genealogical compilations. He is presented as a wise and modest ruler concerned with administration of justice and appears in king lists between his father Capoir and his son Heli, dated in Geoffrey's chronology to the 2nd century BC.
Digueillus is attested not as a mythic progenitor but as one node in the pseudo‑historical regnal sequences assembled by medieval chroniclers, most notably Geoffrey of Monmouth. In that framework he succeeds his father Capoir and is succeeded by his son Heli; Geoffrey and derivative lists place his accession around 113 BC (variants such as 108 BC appear in manuscript genealogies). Some modern onomastic commentators have proposed that the Latinized forms Cligueillus/Digueillus may reflect corruption of Old Welsh names (e.g., Higuel/Hywel), but that remains a hypothesis about transmission rather than a narrative origin.
No physical description is provided in the surviving accounts; Digueillus is represented only as a named ruler in regnal lists and characterized in moral terms ("wise and modest").
Sources attribute no supernatural powers to Digueillus. Geoffrey of Monmouth characterizes him as a wise and modest king who "cared greatly about the administration of justice among the Brythons," marking his notable activity as governance and legal administration rather than any magical or otherworldly ability.

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.

Abandinus
Abandinus is a locally attested Romano‑Celtic theonym known from a single inscribed bronze feather (votive object) dedicated at Godmanchester (the Roman fort Durovigutum) in Cambridgeshire. Scholars interpret him as a local god or male spirit tied to a specific place and possibly associated with a nearby spring or stream; this association is tentative and based on etymological readings of the name.
Abarta (Ábartach)
Abarta (also Ábartach) is a figure of Irish myth who, in surviving accounts, tricks Fionn mac Cumhaill's warriors by giving them a supernatural grey horse that bears them into the Otherworld.

In later literature—most notably John Milton's Paradise Lost—Abdiel is reimagined as a faithful seraph who opposes Satan's revolt.

Abigail is a female figure in the Hebrew Bible portrayed in 1 Samuel 25 as the intelligent and beautiful wife of Nabal who intervenes to prevent David from committing violence; later tradition regards her as one of the Tanakh's seven female prophets and as a model of beauty and wisdom.
