Origin

No unified mythic origin exists for 'Hylaeus' in the supplied sources. The name occurs as separate proper names in Greek myth (a centaur killed by Atalanta; one of Actaeon’s dogs), as the Linnaean genus name for a large, cosmopolitan group of bees in the family Colletidae, and as a pet dog character in the videogame Caves of Qud. The supplied material gives no etymology or single narrative tying these uses together.

Appearance

Appearance depends on referent: the mythic mentions supply only names (a centaur and a hunting dog) without description; the taxonomic Hylaeus are small bees often called yellow‑face or masked bees (photographs and species descriptions indicate small-bodied bees with distinctive facial markings); the videogame Hylaeus is described simply as a pet dog (no detailed physical description in the excerpt).

Abilities

No supernatural abilities are attested in the provided sources. The bee genus Hylaeus is biologically characterized by provisioning nests with liquid or semi‑liquid pollen carried in the crop and lacking external pollen‑carrying scopa. The videogame pet fetches items for its owner and typically avoids conflict unless engaging creatures (excerpt truncated). The mythic name‑occurrences are cited only as narrative characters without described behaviors.

*Perkʷūnos

*Perkʷūnos is the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European thunder‑god hypothesized by comparative linguistics and mythology. Scholarly reconstructions portray him as a storm or thunder figure associated with fructifying rain and as the combatant who fights a multi‑headed water‑serpent to release life‑giving waters; no direct attestations from the Proto‑Indo‑European period survive and the figure is inferred from later Indo‑European traditions.

*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.

58 Concordia

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.

Abaddon

In Hebrew scripture Abaddon is primarily a noun meaning 'destruction' or a section/condition of the underworld paired with Sheol; in the New Testament Book of Revelation Abaddon is personified as an angelic figure (Greek Apollyon) described as the king of an army of locusts released from the abyss during the apocalypse.

Aban Yasht

The Aban Yasht is a hymn from the Persian tradition that praises Anahita, a goddess associated with water, fertility, and wisdom. It consists of 132 stanzas and is part of the 21 Yashts collection. (Note: - Power tier should be "Primordial" or possibly "Cosmic", given that it's a hymn of great spiritual significance and associated with a goddess. - The article incorrectly states that Anahita is associa)

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).
