She is portrayed chiefly in domestic and dynastic roles whose enmity toward her stepson Phocus leads to his murder and the exile of her sons, positioning later heroic lineages (Ajax, Teucer, Achilles).
Endymion is presented in the supplied sources as a figure of Ancient Greek mythology identified as a shepherd. The corpus provided mainly records this basic identification and documents numerous later, derivative uses of the name across poems, fiction, visual arts, scientific nomenclature, and named places or objects (e.g., Keats's poem, fictional characters, a lunar crater, an asteroid, ships, and taxonomic usages).
Enipeus (also Enipeas / Enippeas) is attested in Greek sources as the name of several rivers in Greece and as a river-god (a potamos) — a local divine personification identified with those watercourses. Specific rivers named include streams in Elis, Thessaly, and Pieria, and a town named Enippeas in Thessaly.

Epaphus (Ancient Greek Ἔπαφος) is a mythic human figure in Greek tradition, presented as a son of Zeus and Io who becomes king of Egypt and an eponymous ancestor in genealogical myths. He functions as a legendary founder-king linking Olympian divinity to foreign lands (notably Egypt and Libya) and as a progenitor in lineages that lead to figures such as Belus, Agenor, Cadmus, and Europa in some traditions.
Epeius (Ancient Greek: Ἐπειός) is a name borne by at least two distinct mortal figures in Greek mythic-historical tradition: an Elean prince/king of the heroic age associated with the succession of Elis and the foundation narratives of Olympia, and an Achaean soldier-engineer celebrated in epic tradition as the builder of the wooden stratagem used at Troy (the Trojan Horse). Both personae appear as human actors within genealogical and epic frameworks rather than as supernatural beings.

Epicaste (Ancient Greek Ἐπικάστη, Epikaste) is a personal name attested for multiple mortal women in ancient Greek mythic genealogies and epic references. The name functions as a narrative identifier across several local traditions (Thebes, Calydon, Elis, Argos, Pylos/Ithaca) rather than denoting a single supernatural being or class of spirit.

Presented primarily as an elemental divine principle and progenitor in origin myths, Erebos appears in varied genealogies (Hesiodic, Orphic, and Roman summaries) as an early ancestor from whom other personified forces arise.
Erebus (Ancient Greek: Ἔρεβος) is the primordial personification of darkness and gloom in Greek myth and a name used for the subterranean darkness or region of the underworld.

The supplied sources do not support a single, coherent folkloric supernatural entity under this name; instead the name functions as a toponym applied to waterways, a star-pattern, and various fictional locales.
Erigone (Ἠριγόνη) in these sources is a mortal figure of Greek heroic genealogy: daughter of Aegisthus and Clytemnestra, placed in the post‑Trojan‑War cycle of kin‑slaying, prosecution, and succession.

A legendary Thessalian king (or wealthy man in rationalizing accounts) whose sacrilege against a grove of Demeter results in a divine affliction of insatiable hunger. His tale functions as a moral exemplum about reverence for sacred land and the consequences of violating cult sanctuaries.
Erytheis (also rendered Erytheia) is attested in modern summaries of Greek myth as one of the Hesperides, the nymphs who tend the garden containing Hera's trees that bear golden apples. She is presented only as a member of that collective role; the cited sources give no independent narratives, descriptions, or rituals specific to her.

A legendary monstrous animal attested in classical and medieval bestiary summaries: a breed of winged, two-horned horse said to come from Aithiopia (ancient 'Ethiopia') and reportedly located on an island in the Red Sea off the coast of Eritrea. It appears in the corpus of Greco‑Roman natural‑history marvels (Pliny is cited in secondary summaries) and later bestiary compilations rather than as a spirit or deity.
A pantheon of gods and goddesses heavily influenced by Greek and Roman mythology, worshipped by the Etruscan civilization. (Note: - Power tier: Primordial is not plausible given the described abilities (control over nature and influence over human affairs). A more accurate power tier would be Ancient, as these abilities are simi)
Euaechme (also Evaechme, Euaichme) is a personal name borne by mortal women in Greek mythic genealogies.

Euboea is primarily the name of a large Greek island (Ancient Greek: Εὔβοια) with longstanding geographic, historical, and mythic associations; it is also the personal name borne by several minor mythological women (notably an Argive naiad who, with her sisters, served as a nurse of Hera). The material does not present Euboea as a single coherent supernatural being.
Euboeus is not a folkloric supernatural being but a name attested in two distinct contexts in the supplied sources: (1) a Linnaean genus of Palaearctic darkling beetles (Euboeus Boieldieu, 1865) and (2) a fragmentary classical author, a comic/parodist poet (presumably Euboeus of Paros, fl. c. 359–336 BC) known from scant citations.

The name is also attested in modern reception (poetry, taxonomy, and an asteroid entry).
Eucleia (Ancient Greek Εὐκλεία, 'Good Repute') is a personified virtue‑deity in Classical Greek religion whose cult protected public reputation, family honour, and aspects of civic wellbeing.

These bearers are mortal or semi‑divine actors within mythic narratives rather than a recurring supernatural class.
Eumolpus is a legendary Greek culture-hero and priest associated with Demeter and the founding of the Eleusinian Mysteries; he is remembered as a singer, ritual teacher, and sometimes as a Thracian leader in conflict with Athens. Later Roman literature repurposes his name as a poetic persona in satire.
