Creusa (also called Glauce or Glauca) is a mortal princess of Corinth in the Argonaut/Jason–Medea cycle, daughter of King Creon, whose intended or actual marriage to Jason provokes Medea’s lethal revenge in the mythic narrative.
Creusa of Troy is a mortal figure in Greek and Roman myth: a Trojan princess, daughter of Priam and Hecuba, wife of Aeneas, and mother of Ascanius. She appears in accounts of the sack of Troy as a member of Aeneas’s household who flees with him but is separated and lost during the city's fall, functioning as a familial and narrative node linking Trojan royalty to the Aeneadic foundation tradition.
Criasus (Ancient Greek: Κρίασος, Kriasos) is presented in Greek mytho-historical sources as a legendary king of Argos, situated in Argive genealogies as son of Argus and ancestor of later rulers. He is credited with a fifty-four-year reign and appears chiefly as a dynastic and chronological anchor in later synchronistic chronologies.
Crinaeae are a class of Greek nymphs associated with fountains and wells. Treated in classical and modern reference works as localized female nature-spirits, they share the general attributes of nymphs (place-bound divinities, often pictured as maidens) but are not described in the supplied sources as immortal major gods.
Crino (Greek: Κρινώ, Krinō) is the personal name of at least two mortal women attested in Greek mythological genealogies and in ancient iconography: one listed as a consort of King Danaus and mother of four Danaïdes, and another named as a daughter of Antenor and Theano depicted in a painting by Polygnotus described by Pausanias. She is represented as a mortal, genealogical figure rather than an independent supernatural being in the provided sources.
Crisus (Ancient Greek: Κρῖσος), also rendered Crissus, is a mytho-historical Greek ancestral figure: son of Phocus, twin brother of Panopeus, father of Strophius and eponymous founder of the town Crissa. He appears in genealogical and local-foundation traditions rather than as a supernatural being.
Crius (Greek Κρεῖος / Κριός) is one of the elder Titans in Hesiodic Greek myth, presented primarily as a genealogical figure among the twelve Titans and listed as a participant in the Titanomachy who, according to Hesiodic tradition, was confined to Tartarus after the war.
Crocale (Ancient Greek: Κροκάλη) is a named naiad—fresh-water nymph—listed among the bathing attendants of the goddess Artemis (Diana) in Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Daughter of the river-god Ismenus, she appears in a single narrated episode performing service and protective actions within Artemis’ sacred bathing grove.
A monstrous wild pig from Greek heroic legend that terrorized the region around Crommyon on the Isthmus between Megara and Corinth. The creature — also called Phaea in some accounts — is slain by the culture-hero Theseus and appears in variant traditions as either an extraordinary beast or as a human outlaw nicknamed 'Sow.'
A principal Titan in ancient Greek myth, Cronus (Κρόνος) is the youngest leader of the Titans who overthrew his father Uranus, ruled in the mythic Golden Age, devoured his newborn children to avert a prophecy, and was later overthrown by his son Zeus and confined to Tartarus. He is associated in some traditions with the harvest and is later equated with the Roman Saturn.
Crotopus is a legendary king of Argos in Greek mythic-historical tradition. He is depicted as a mortal ruler whose condemnation and execution of his daughter Psamathe for bearing Apollo's child provokes divine retribution (a plague on Argos) and leads to oracle-prescribed rites and, in some accounts, the king's exile and founding of a new city, Tripodiscium.
Ctesippus (Greek Κτήσιππος, Ktēsippos) is an ancient Greek personal name attested for several distinct mortal figures in literary and mythographic sources: one or more sons of Heracles in genealogical lists, a wealthy and disorderly suitor of Penelope in the Odyssey, and a named minor interlocutor or symposium participant in Platonic dialogues. The attestations show recurring onomastic use rather than a single supernatural entity.
Ctesius (Ancient Greek: Κτήσιος, 'belonging to property, acquisition') is a name applied in ancient Greek sources to multiple related referents: a mortal king of Syra (father of Eumaeus), a Homeric suitor of Penelope, a minor household divinity, and an epithet of Zeus indicating his proprietorial/household function. As Zeus Ctesius the name marks the god's manifestation within the private domestic sphere and the safeguarding of property and the oikos.
Ctimene (Ancient Greek Κτιμένη, romanized Ktiménē) is an Ithacan princess in Homeric genealogy — the daughter of Laertes and Anticlea, younger sister of Odysseus, and wife of Eurylochus. She appears in the Odyssey as a member of Odysseus’s household whose marriage and upbringing help situate social, kinship, and dowry practices in the epic world (Odyssey 15.361–379).
Ctimenus (Ancient Greek: Κτιμένου) is attested in Greek mythographic records as a human genealogical figure — named as the father of the Argonaut Eurydamas and associated with Ctimene in Dolopian Thessaly. He is not described as a supernatural being; extant sources record only his genealogical role and note an alternative tradition giving Eurydamas different parentage.
A cult associated with the Greek god Dionysus, patron deity of wine, fertility, theater, and ecstasy. (Note: 1. Factual claim: The article states that Dionysus's original name 'Dionysus' (Διόνυσος) is derived from Linear B tablets as 𐀇𐀺𐀝𐀰 (di-wo-nu-so). However, the source material does not support this )
Cupid (Latin: Cupīdō or Amor) is the Roman god of desire, erotic love, attraction, and affection, depicted in classical and later Western art and literature as a youthful, often winged figure whose arrows inspire love or aversion.
The Curetes (Greek Κουρῆτες, Kouretes) are a named group of ritual attendants or minor divine retainers associated with Aegean and Anatolian mother-goddess cults—primarily Rhea and Cybele. They are attested in ancient sources and modern reference works as dancing servants or ritual personnel whose name also survives in urban toponymy (e.g., Kouretes/Curetes Street at Ephesos).
Cyane (Ancient Greek Κυάνη, Kuánē, 'dark blue') is a Sicilian water-nymph (naiad) associated with a spring or pool near Syracuse. In myth she attempts to block Hades' abduction of Persephone, pleads by citing her own consensual relationship with the river-god Anapus, and—after failing—dissolves into the waters of her pool; the spring is thereafter sacred and named for her.
Cyanippus (Greek: Κυάνιππος) is a personal name attested for at least three distinct mortal men in Greek mythic traditions: an Argive/Achaean warrior-king connected to the Trojan Horse cycle, a Thessalian hunter whose dogs kill his wife, and a Syracusan who omitted worship of Dionysus and whose divinely induced crime leads to oracle-driven expiation. He is presented as human rather than as a supernatural being.
An Anatolian mother goddess (Phrygian Matar Kubileya) whose cult centers on mountains, city protection, fertility, and wild nature; adopted and reinterpreted by Greek and Roman religion where she became associated with ecstatic rites, a eunuch priesthood (the Galli), and the Roman Magna Mater cult.
Cychreides (Greek Κυχρείδης) is a serpent- or dragon-like monster of Greek myth associated with the island of Salamis and, in some variants, with the goddess Demeter. Traditions differ: it is variously portrayed as a terrorizing beast slain or driven off by humans, a serpent kept by Demeter (including as one of the pair that drew her chariot), or as an epithet applied to the hot‑tempered Cychreus himself.
Cychreus is a legendary local hero and king of Salamis in Greek tradition, son of Poseidon and the nymph Salamis, variably portrayed as slayer, keeper, or figurative ‘dragon’ in traditions that connect him to cult practice and Athenian political uses.
In Greek tradition, Cyclopean masonry is an architectural style characterized by massive limestone boulders roughly fitted together without mortar, associated with the mythical one-eyed giants. (Note: * Power tier: Primordial seems too high for an architectural style; consider Lesser or Greater. * Appearance: While massive structures can be imposing, unease or foreboding is more subjective interpre)
In Greek myth, the Cyclopes are one-eyed giant beings appearing in several related roles: Hesiodic primordial smith-craftsmen (Brontes, Steropes, Arges) who forged divine weapons; Homeric cave-dwelling pastoral giants exemplified by Polyphemus who act outside polis norms; and a traditional class of superhuman masons credited with monumental "Cyclopean" walls.
In ancient Greek tradition the Cyclopes are one‑eyed giant beings appearing in multiple, sometimes contradictory strands: Hesiodic primordial artisan brothers who forge the gods' arms; Homeric solitary, cave‑dwelling shepherd‑monsters such as Polyphemus; and a legendary explanation for monumental ‘Cyclopean’ masonry.
Cycnus (Ancient Greek Κύκνος) is one of several mythic personages named ‘Cycnus’ whose narratives culminate in transformation into a swan; the son of Ares is one attested bearer of that name within the wider Greek motif of human/divine metamorphosis into the bird and occasional stellar aetiology linking the figure to the constellation Cygnus.
Cycnus (Kyknos) of Aetolia is a mythic Aetolian prince, traditionally described as a son of Apollo by Hyrie/Thyrie and situated in Calydonian/ Aetolian narrative cycles. He appears in sources as a semi-divine youth, variously cast as a princely figure involved in erotic episodes (traditionally the beloved of Phylius in some retellings) and as a combatant referenced in heroic/martial catalogues and poetic metamorphosis traditions.
Cycnus (Ancient Greek Kyknos/Kyknōs) is a heroic-age king of Kolonai in the southern Troad, presented in Greek epic-cycle and local tradition as a son of Poseidon who fought on the Trojan side and was slain by Achilles in accounts outside the Iliad.
Cydon (Greek Κύδων) is a personal name used for multiple mortal figures in ancient Greek myth and epic: an eponymous founder associated with Cydonia in Crete, several warriors appearing in war-cycles (including the Seven against Thebes and the Lemnian massacre), an ally in Virgil's Aeneid, and even the name of a horse in epic catalogue. The name functions onomastically rather than designating a single supernatural being or class.
Historically, the Cydonians (from Kydonia/Cydonia) are the inhabitants of the ancient city of Kydonia at the site of modern Chania on Crete, attested in classical Greek geographic and literary sources as one of the island's local peoples. In modern popular culture and fringe speculation the name has been repurposed to label imagined Martian inhabitants or game factions; these are distinct, later usages separate from the ancient ethnonym.
Cydragora (also attested Cyndragora) is an alternate personal name used in Greek mythic genealogies for the woman more commonly called Anaxibia, here identified in some traditions as a daughter of Atreus who married Strophius of Phocis and was mother of Pylades. The figure is presented as a mortal mythic woman whose primary role is dynastic and genealogical rather than supernatural.
Cyllarus is a named centaur from Greco-Roman myth, attested in Ovid's Metamorphoses (Book XII) as a handsome and valiant warrior who fought in the centaur–Lapith battle and was fatally wounded by a spear, dying in the arms of his wife Hylonome.
Cyllen (also attested as Cyllene in place-name forms) is an eponymous figure in Greek mythographic and topographic tradition credited with giving his name to Mount Cyllene in Arcadia. He appears in genealogical lists of Arcadian heroes and functions primarily as an etiological ancestor in local myth rather than as a richly characterized deity or monster.
Cyllene (also Kyllini, Kyllene) is a place-bound nymph from Greek tradition associated with Mount Kyllini in the Peloponnese. In the supplied sources she functions primarily as an eponymic, landscape-linked figure rather than as a named actor in preserved myths or cult narratives.
Cymatolege is attested in the supplied sources as one of the Nereids, the fifty sea-nymph daughters of Nereus and Doris in Greek mythology. The supplied materials contain no individual myths, etymology, or distinct attributes for Cymatolege; the same name is also used in a separate, non-mythological context as a genus of cyanobacteria.
Cymelus (Latin/Cymelos; Greek Kymelos) is a named Lapith warrior who appears in accounts of King Pirithous's wedding and the ensuing battle between Lapiths and Centaurs. In Ovid's Metamorphoses and later mythographic summaries he is recorded as being killed when the centaur Nessus hurled a spear that struck his groin.
Cymo is recorded in modern reference lists as a named member of the Nereids, the class of sea-nymphs in Greek mythology. The available sources supply only the name and its categorization; no independent ancient attestations, narratives, or descriptive details for Cymo are provided in the supplied material.
Cymodoce (Ancient Greek Κυμοδόκη, romanized Kymodokê) is one of the fifty Nereids, sea-nymph daughters of Nereus and the Oceanid Doris in Greek mythology. She is attested mainly in name-lists and brief literary mentions and functions as part of the collective of sea-nymphs rather than as an individually featured mythic figure.
Cymothoe (Ancient Greek: Κυμοθόη, Kymothoê) is one of the fifty Nereids in Greek mythology, a daughter of Nereus and Doris. Etymologically glossed in modern reference as 'wave‑swift' and described in some summaries as associated with gentle, quiet waves, she appears in literary and artistic sources as a named sea‑nymph who can aid mortals at sea (notably in the Aeneid tradition assisting Aeneas).
In Egyptian tradition, cynocephalics are human beings with dog's heads. (Note: 1. The power tier should be Primordial, given the fact that cynocephalics are described as a widely attested mythical phenomenon existing in many different forms and contexts. 2. Add an origin story b)
Cynortas (Ancient Greek Κυνόρτας / Κυνόρτης) is a legendary king of Sparta known from Greek mytho-historical genealogies. He is presented in the sources as a member of the Spartan royal lineage — son of Amyclas and Diomede, successor to his brother Argalus, and father of either Oebalus or Perieres — and his tomb was said to have been shown near Scias at Sparta.
Cynosura (Ancient Greek: Κυνοσούρα, lit. 'dog's tail') is named in modern summaries of Greek myth as an Idaean nymph from Crete who helped nurse and conceal the young Zeus during his early years when he was hidden. The figure is attested in concise modern reference entries; additional uses of the lexical form 'Cynosura' in Greek place-names and star-lore are recorded but distinct from the nymph as presented in the supplied material.
Cynurus (Ancient Greek: Κύνουρος, Kúnouros) is an eponymous genealogical figure of Greek tradition, recorded as a son of the hero Perseus who led a colonial movement from Argos into the district called Cynuria. He functions in the sources as an ancestral founder and name-giver rather than as a supernatural being.
Cyphus (Ancient Greek: Κύφος) is attested in classical sources as a town of Perrhaebia in ancient Thessaly, cited in Homer’s Catalogue of Ships as supplying 22 ships for the Trojan War and placed by Strabo at the foot of Mount Olympus. The name also appears in modern contexts (taxonomic entry, digital usernames, and media metadata) but the supplied sources do not present Cyphus as a supernatural being.
Cyrene is an eponymous ancient Greek mythological heroine associated with the North African city of Cyrene and remembered chiefly as a mortal lover of the god Apollo and as an aetiological figure whose name is applied to place and artistic types in Greco-Roman culture.
In Greek mythology, the Cytherean is a nymph associated with the island of Kythira and its connection to Poseidon. (Note: - Power tier should be Greater (powerful regional), as there's no indication that the Cytherean has cosmic-level powers. - There is no information about the origin story, appearance, abilities, weakne)
Cytherus (Ancient Greek Κύθηρρος / Κύθηρος; also attested as Cytherum, Kytheron) appears in ancient Greek sources in two distinct registers: as a local river‑god (potamos) of a small Elis stream tributary to the Alpheios, and as a place‑name — one of the twelve cities of ancient Attica that later functioned as a deme. The sources do not present an overlapping narrative uniting the two uses beyond isolated mythic onomastic links (e.g., Pausanias’ note about the Ionides).
Cyzicus (Ancient Greek: Κύζικος, Kúzikos) is a mytho-historical eponymous king in Greek tradition, presented as ruler of the Dolionians on the southern shore of the Propontis (Sea of Marmara). He is remembered principally as the eponymous founder/leader after whom the city of Cyzicus was named; surviving summaries do not attribute supernatural powers or a distinct cult to him.
Dactyls (Ancient Greek Daktuloi, literally "fingers") are archaic mythical figures in Greek tradition associated with Mount Ida; some traditions credit an Idaean Dactyl named Herakles with originating the Olympic Games. The term also appears in later cultural registers (poetic meter, modern astronomical naming).
Daedalion (Ancient Greek: Δαιδαλίων) is a figure from Greek myth: a son of Hesperos/Phosphorus, father of Chione, and brother of Ceyx who, grieving his daughter's death, attempts suicide and is transformed by Apollo into a hawk. The metamorphosis is presented etiologically to explain hawk strength and predatory habits as continuations of his character and grief.
Daedalus (Greek Δαίδαλος) is a legendary master craftsman, architect, and inventor of Greek mythic tradition credited with complex constructions (the Labyrinth), ingenious devices (a wooden cow), and mechanical inventions (wings for flight). He functions as an archetypal artisan whose skill alters human affairs and whose pride produces moral and social consequences.
Daeira is an Oceanid-nymph closely associated with the Eleusinian Mysteries and the town of Eleusis in Attica. Her name means "the knowing one," and ancient sources present her variously as a local progenitor, a bearer of esoteric initiation knowledge, and in multiple traditions equated or contrasted with major goddesses such as Persephone, Demeter, Aphrodite, Hera, and Hekate.
In classical Greek and Roman contexts a daemon (daimon) denotes an intermediary spirit or nature-being that can be benevolent, ambivalent, or morally mixed. Daemons occupy an ontological position between gods and humans and appear as personal guiding signs, place-linked spirits, or participants in local cultic life rather than as categorically evil entities.
A class of hostile craft‑bound spirits in Greek tradition associated with pottery and kilns; they are named in later summaries as agents that plague potters by causing breakage, scorching, and kiln failure. The motif survives primarily in a short hexameter poem ('Kiln' / 'Potters') that frames potters' success as dependent on Athena while attributing craft disasters to malign daimones.
In ancient Greek thought a daimōn is a divine or semi-divine presence occupying a middle position between gods and humans: a mediator, allotter of fate, guardian spirit, or the incorporeal continuation of important mortals. Daimones can be benevolent or malevolent and are treated variably in religious, poetic, and philosophical sources.
Daiphron (Ancient Greek: Δαΐφρων, 'warlike' or 'prudent') is a personal name borne by at least two princes, sons of King Aegyptus, in the Greek Danaid cycle. Each Daiphron appears in genealogical lists as a husband of a daughter of Danaus and is slain on his wedding night in those accounts.
Damasiclus (Ancient Greek: Δαμάσικλος / Δαμασίκλου), also called Amasiclus or Amasichus, is a mortal figure in Greek myth genealogies presented as a Spartan son of Icarius. He functions as a kinship node in variant traditions and is chiefly notable for his place in lineages that connect to the eponym Taenarus.
Damastor (Greek: Δαμάστωρ, Damástōr/Damastôr, lit. 'tamer' or 'subduer') is a personal name attested in ancient Greek mythic and epic sources for multiple distinct figures: a Giant who fights in the Gigantomachy and several mortal personages or patronymics (Damastorides) appearing in the Homeric cycle, notably among suitors of Penelope and in Trojan-war genealogies.
Damno is a figure in Greek mythographic genealogies identified as an Egyptian princess, daughter of King Belus, who in some accounts marries Agenor and is mother to Isaia (Isaie) and Melia. She functions primarily as a dynastic link in origin myths rather than as an independently active mythic character.
