No coherent folkloric ontology, rituals, or traditional powers are documented for an entity called Lethus.
Ancient
Leto
Leto (Ancient Greek: Λητώ / Λατώ; Latin: Latona) is an ancient Greek goddess best known as the mother of the Olympian twins Apollo and Artemis.

Lesser
Leucon
Leucon (Ancient Greek: Λεύκων, Leúkōn) is a personal name attested across classical Greek myth and later usages rather than a singular supernatural entity. In the ancient sources it appears as multiple distinct referents: a mythic/genealogical male figure (son of Themisto), one of Actaeon's dogs, and a named hero in an Athenian oracle-account; the same lexical form is also used historically (Leucon I, Bosporan ruler) and in modern scientific and fictional contexts (e.g., the sponge anatomical term leuconoid and various fictional character names).

Leucophrye
Leucophrye is a mythological human figure in Greek narrative tradition, attested as the daughter of Mandrolytus who, during a siege, fell in love with an attacking commander (named Leucippus in at least one account) and betrayed her city.
