Hyrtacus is a legendary human in Greek folklore, from Troy (Anatolia). Hyrtacus is an obscure mortal figure of Greek myth associated with the Trojan War cycle. He is described as a comrade of King Priam, husband of Arisbe after Priam divorced her, and father of fighters who appear in epic narratives; the name is also used in modern biological taxonomy for a genus of insects.
Hyrtacus is presented in the classical epic tradition as an obscure, non-divine figure tied to Trojan royal circles. Classical summaries report that after Priam divorced Arisbe (daughter of King Merops of Percote) she became the wife of Hyrtacus; their son Asius fought at Troy. In Roman epic tradition (Vergil's Aeneid) the name is also credited with two further sons, Nisus and Hippocoon. Ancient sources do not record Hyrtacus's parentage, and modern summaries note the name may be toponymic — perhaps of Cretan origin owing to an ancient city called Hyrtacus or Hyrtacina in southwestern Crete — but this etymological connection is presented as possible rather than certain.
No surviving passages provided in the assembled sources give a physical description of Hyrtacus. In the material cited he functions as a genealogical and narrative anchor — husband, comrade, and father — and is not depicted with distinctive corporeal attributes in the summaries available.
The supplied sources attribute no supernatural powers, specialized skills, or ritual roles to Hyrtacus. His presence in the tradition is social and genealogical: marriage to Arisbe, companionship with Priam, and paternity of warriors who appear in epic accounts. No behaviors beyond these familial and martial associations are recorded in the provided material.
*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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
Abellio
Abellio is a theonym attested in Roman‑period inscriptions from the Comminges area of the Pyrenees and reported as worshipped in the Garonne Valley of ancient Gallia Aquitania. Surviving evidence is limited to a small number of inscriptions; scholars have variously hypothesized solar or arboreal associations and compared the name to forms of Apollo or to Celtic Belenus, but the deity's precise role in local cosmology remains uncertain.
