Lesser

Asius

Asius (Ancient Greek: Asios) is a personal name borne by several mortal leaders allied with Troy in Greek epic and mythographic tradition. The figures called Asius appear in leader-lists, genealogies, and battle narratives of the Trojan War cycle rather than as a distinct supernatural entity.

Begoe
Lesser

Begoe

Begoe is a scarcely attested named figure in Etruscan religious tradition, recorded in a 19th‑century retelling as able to slay an ox by whispering a sacred name. Modern references sometimes list Begoe as a variant spelling of the better‑attested Etruscan figure Vegoia/Vegoe, but evidence is fragmentary.

Caelius Vibenna (Etruscan Caile Vipina) is presented in the supplied tradition as an Etruscan noble and legendary leader associated with a circle of companions; he appears in Etruscan tomb painting (notably the François Tomb at Vulci) and in later Roman antiquarian tradition as an ancestral or eponymous figure tied to the Caelian Hill of Rome. The corpus treats him as a human aristocratic/heroic figure rather than a supernatural being.

Calu
Ancient

Calu

Calu is an Etruscan theonym/epithet denoting the chthonic, dark aspect of the fire-underworld god Śuri; the name was also used as a synonym for the underworld itself.
