Rather than a single origin, the name Pallas is borne by several distinct personages in Greek myth and by an epithet of Athena. Attested figures enumerated in the sources include: Pallas, a daughter of Triton (a nymph); Pallas the Giant, a son of Uranus and Gaia who is described as killed and flayed by Athena; Pallas, son of Evander (appearing as a prominent character in the Aeneid); Pallas, son of Lycaon, described as a teacher of Athena; Pallas, son of Pandion, father of the fifty Pallantides; and Pallas the Titan, son of Crius and Eurybia, brother of Astraeus and Perses and husband of Styx. These entries show the name functioning as a recurring appellation attached to separate genealogical roles rather than indicating a single unified supernatural origin (Source: Pallas (mythology) disambiguation).
No single, consistent iconography or physical description applies to 'Pallas' across the sources; each named figure would follow its own individual tradition. The provided material does not supply unified descriptive detail. One attestable mythic detail is that Pallas the Giant possessed a corporeal body that was slain and flayed by Athena, but beyond that the excerpts list roles and genealogies without sustained physical descriptions (Source: Pallas (mythology)).
The sources do not ascribe a coherent or shared set of supernatural powers to a unitary entity named Pallas. Individual bearers of the name are defined by genealogical and narrative roles rather than enumerated magical abilities. Where 'Pallas' appears as an epithet of Athena, it is therefore associated by naming with the domains commonly linked to Athena (wisdom, warfare, crafts) through epithet usage, but the provided excerpts do not elaborate specific powers or behaviors attached directly to the name itself. One Pallas is recorded only in relation to his death at Athena's hands (Source: Pallas (mythology)).
*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.

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.
