Xanthe is an onomastic form from ancient Greek (Ξανθή) meaning "blond-haired." In the mythological material cited the name is used as a proper name applied to several distinct figures rather than originating a single narrative: it is listed among the Oceanids (daughters of Oceanus and Tethys), appears as the name of one of the Amazons in certain lists, and is sometimes given as an alternate name for Epione, the wife of the healer Asclepius. The supplied sources do not provide a single unified origin myth for an entity named Xanthe; instead the name participates in Greek naming practices that form personal names from descriptive epithets.
No consistent supernatural morphology is described in the provided material. Etymologically the name denotes "blond-haired," so bearers called Xanthe in mythic lists would be characterized by that attribute in name. Beyond the etymological implication, the sources do not supply physical descriptions or nonhuman features for a unified being called Xanthe.
The sources do not attribute independent supernatural powers or a recurring set of behaviors to a singular entity named Xanthe. The name appears attached to figures whose typical roles would be those of their broader categories (e.g., Oceanids as sea-nymphs, Amazons as warrior women, Epione as a healing consort), but no source supplied describes specific abilities, rites, or mythic deeds unique to any bearer named Xanthe.

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.

He functions as an eponymous local/divine-hero ancestor for the city of Abdera and received funerary commemoration and athletic agones at his tomb.
