Origin

The name Pylenor appears in the classical/mythic register as an individual centaur identified in a mythic index and summarized as a centaur 'wounded by Heracles' (Wikidata entry). This situates that attestation within the broad cycle of Greek heroic narratives in which Heracles combats various liminal or monstrous figures. Separately, Pylenor is used in a modern narrative context as the name of a human priest who appears in an Assassin's Creed memory sequence; in that scene the priest requests help dealing with snakes at a bathhouse. The available sources do not supply a unified genealogy, mythic origin, or ritual tradition linking these usages, nor do they present Pylenor as a recurring class of spirit or monster with a consistent origin myth.

Appearance

In the classical context, if Pylenor refers to the centaur listed in mythic indexes, his appearance conforms to the standard centaur morphology: the upper body of a human combined with the lower body and legs of a horse (Wikipedia: Centaur description). The source noting Pylenor as a centaur does not provide individualized physical detail beyond class membership. In the modern videogame excerpt Pylenor appears as a human priest in a bathhouse scene; the supplied text identifies him by role and situational context (priest at a bathhouse with a snake problem) but gives no further physical description.

Abilities

No specific supernatural abilities are attributed to Pylenor in the supplied sources. The classical indexing only records him as a centaur wounded by Heracles without describing particular powers or actions; any generic centaur traits (strength, mounted mobility, martial behavior) are class-level descriptions from centaur summaries rather than source-specific claims about Pylenor. In the videogame excerpt Pylenor is a mundane human priest who asks the protagonist for assistance dealing with a snake infestation at a bathhouse; his actions in the excerpt are conversational and managerial rather than supernatural.

A Elbereth Gilthoniel

An Elvish hymn in Sindarin addressed to Elbereth (Varda) from J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium.

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.
