Agdistis is a Phrygian-origin deity incorporated into Greek and Roman mythic tradition, described in ancient sources as born with both male and female sexual organs and closely associated with the Great Mother goddess (Cybele) and the Attis cycle. The figure functions as an origin-mythic cause for features of the Cybele/Attis cult (notably the existence of eunuch priests) and is tied to specific sacred sites around Pessinus and a Mount Agdistis/Agdus rock.
Agelaus (Ancient Greek: Ἀγέλαος) is not a single supernatural being but a personal name borne by multiple mortal figures in Greek myth, epic, and local history. Bearers include a herdsman who raised the exposed infant Paris, several minor warriors in the Trojan cycle, mythic princes (e.g., sons of Oeneus, Stymphalus, Temenus, and in some lists a son of Heracles), a suitor of Penelope, and a historical official of Naupactus in the Aetolian League.
Ageleus (also Agelaus, Agelaos, Ageleos) is not a single supernatural being but a recurring personal name borne by multiple mortal characters in Greek mythic genealogies and epic narratives. Bearers of the name appear as princes, warriors, herdsmen, and ancestors within the heroic-age cycles (Calydon, Troy, Arcadia, Dionysian campaigns).
Agemon is attested in the supplied sources only as a proper name: a genealogical listing identifying him as a son of Eudaemus in a Wikidata fragment, and as a letter-string appearing (likely via OCR or typographic artifact) in a declassified CIA document. There is no evidence in the provided material that Agemon is a supernatural being or part of a folkloric tradition.
Agenor, son of Pleuron, is a minor mortal figure attested in Greek mythographic genealogies as a prince of Aetolia. He is listed as a child of King Pleuron and Xanthippe and as brother to Stratonice, Sterope, and Laophonte; no independent myths, deeds, or iconography for this Agenor are recorded in the supplied sources.
Agenor is a mythic royal figure in Greek heroic‑age genealogies who functions as a dynastic ancestor and narrative node. In different traditions he appears as an Argive king in the house of Phoroneus or as a son of Poseidon associated with Phoenicia and Libya; an Agenor also appears as a warrior in Homeric epic.
Agenor (Ancient Greek: Ἀγήνώρ) is a mortal Trojan heroic figure in the Greek epic tradition notable for confronting Achilles during a rout in Iliad Book 21; Apollo carries Agenor away in a veil of mist and then impersonates him to distract Achilles, allowing the Trojans to reach safety. Later authors vary about his battlefield kills and his eventual death.

Agetor (Ancient Greek: Ἀγήτωρ; alt. Hegetor) is not an independent being but a theonymic epithet applied to multiple Greek gods—primarily Zeus in Lacedaemon, and also Apollo and Hermes—emphasizing a leading or ruling function of the deity in cult and literature.
Aglaia (Ancient Greek: Ἀγλαΐα) is one of the Charites (the Graces) in classical Greek myth, the personification of splendor, brilliance and festive radiance. She appears in poetic narratives as an attendant of Aphrodite, a dancer of Orchomenus in Nonnus's Dionysiaca, and in some traditions as the wife of Hephaestus and mother of personified social virtues.
Aglaonoe is named in modern catalogs as one of the Sirens of Greek mythology, a group of female, song-bearing beings whose alluring voices threaten seafarers. The sources supplied identify her only as a named member of the Sirens and do not record attributes, rituals, or iconography unique to her.
Aglaope is one of the Sirens of Greek myth, a female sea-associated figure whose enchanting song lured sailors toward shipwreck. Her name etymologically emphasizes a bright or 'lambent' voice and she is variously attested as daughter of the river-god Achelous and either a Muse (Melpomene or Terpsichore) or Sterope.
Aglaurus (Ἄγλαυρος / Agraulus) is an Attic mythic heroine and local cult figure tied to Athens’ foundational myths and Acropolis cults. She appears in variant traditions as a custodian of the infant Erichthonius who disobeys Athena, as a voluntary self-sacrificer who saves the city, and in Roman poetry (Ovid) as a jealous sister turned to stone. Her memory was preserved in a sanctuary and the festival Agraulia, and she functioned as a civic exemplar for young Athenians.
Agoraeus (masculine) and Agoraea (feminine) are adjectival epithets used in ancient Greek religion to mark a deity's protective or patronal relation to the agora (public square/marketplace). The term is not an independent supernatural being but a role-name attached to different gods (notably Hermes, Zeus, Athena, Artemis) indicating their guardianship of assemblies and commercial/civic activity in particular poleis.
Agraeus (Greek: Ἀγραῖος) is primarily an epithet in ancient Greek religion meaning "the hunter," applied to deities (notably Apollo and in feminine form to Artemis) to mark their hunting aspect. The name also appears as a personal name in mythic genealogies and is secondarily attested in a Phoenician context in a late summary source.
Agreus (also spelled Argeus) is attested in modern compilations as one of the Pans — a class of rustic, pan-like rural deities in classical Greek mythology. In modern database records he is additionally listed as a son of Apollo; beyond classificatory notes, surviving citations provide no detailed cultic or narrative material for him.
A classical account—attested via Agriopas as quoted by later compilers—relating that a Parrhasian named Demaenetus/Demnetus ate human viscera during the Arcadian sacrifice to Zeus (Jupiter) Lycaeus and was transformed into a wolf for a period (reported as ten years in some recensions) before reverting to human life.
Agrippa is a polyvalent Latin personal name attested across Roman myth (a legendary king of Alba Longa), multiple historical figures (e.g., Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, Agrippa Postumus, Herod Agrippa I & II), and a Renaissance occult author (Heinrich/Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa). The supplied sources treat Agrippa primarily as an onomastic label rather than a single, consistent supernatural entity.
Agrius (Ancient Greek: Ἄγριος, 'wild') is an onomastic figure in Greek myth whose name is applied to multiple distinct personae—including a Giant, a centaur, a bear‑born twin, a princely son, a suitor of Penelope, and one of Actaeon's dogs—rather than a single unified supernatural being. Each attestation places an Agrius in different narrative registers (Gigantomachy, Heracles' labors, heroic genealogies, the Odyssean cycle, and the Actaeon hunt).
Agrius (Ἄγριος) and Oreius/Orius (Ὄρειος) are twin sons of Polyphonte and a bear in a Greek mythic tale. Presented as 'twin savage bear-like children,' they committed acts of impiety and violence and were ultimately transformed by the gods into ominous birds (vulture and eagle-owl) as part of divine punishment and resolution.
Agrius of Calydon is a mythological mortal attested in Greek genealogical lists as a son of the Calydonian king Porthaon and Euryte and brother to Oeneus and other siblings. He is presented in the sources as a member of the Calydonian royal household rather than a supernatural being.
Agron (Ancient Greek: Ἄγρων, 'wild' or 'rustic') is a human/mortal figure attested in the summary of Antoninus Liberalis' Metamorphoses (as presented on Wikipedia) who, because of impiety toward certain gods, is transformed by Hermes into a plover. The tale functions as an etiological metamorphosis and moral exemplum about observing cult obligations.
Agrotera (Ancient Greek: Ἀγροτέρα) is a cultic epithet of the goddess Artemis emphasizing her role as huntress and recipient of civic-military sacrifices. The title is closely associated with a temple at Agrae on the Ilissos near Athens and with an annual sacrifice (Agroteras Thusia) tied to a vow connected to the Battle of Marathon.
Ahasuerus is a royal personal name in the Hebrew Bible applied to one or more kings of Persia, most prominently the monarch who rules from Susa in the Book of Esther. The name is etymologically derived from Old Persian Xšayāršā (Xerxes) but functions in the texts as a name-title whose precise historical referent is disputed across traditions.
Aidos (Ancient Greek: Αἰδώς) is the personification of shame, modesty, and reverent restraint in classical Greek thought. Treated variously as an ethical feeling, a moral force, and occasionally as a goddess with local cults, Aidos embodies the inner reverence that restrains wrongdoing and governs social propriety.
Aigosages (Greek Αἰγοσάγες, Latin-alphabet Aegosages) were a Gallic/Galatian tribal group recorded in Hellenistic sources as a recruited mercenary body active c. 218–216 BC. Recruited in Thrace by Attalus I of Pergamon, they were transported across the Hellespont, settled on its shores, conducted raids in the Troad, besieged Ilium, and were annihilated by Prusias I of Bithynia.
Aion is a Hellenistic divine personification of cyclical, ritual, and eternal time, often depicted within the zodiacal circle and associated in syncretic contexts with cosmic renewal and the perpetuity of the cosmos or imperial order.
Aitolos is a name that appears in Greek-language traditions referring to two distinct figures: Aetolus, a mythic genealogical ancestor in classical Greek myth (son of Endymion, descendant of Deucalion), and Kosmas Aitolos (St. Cosmas of Aetolia), a historical/hagiographic Orthodox teacher whose collected writings emphasize pastoral and ascetical themes. The sources do not present Aitolos as a single folkloric supernatural being.
Ajax (Ancient Greek: Aias) is a human heroic figure of the Trojan-cycle tradition and the tragic protagonist of Sophocles' play Ajax. In the surviving tradition he is a mortal Salaminian warrior celebrated for physical strength and martial reputation whose wounded honor, rage, and resulting suicide are the focus of Sophocles' drama.
Ajax the Great (Ancient Greek: Αἴας, Aíās) is a mortal heroic figure of the Trojan War cycle, famed as a towering, steadfast Greek champion and defender of the Achaean ships. Prominent in Homer’s Iliad, he is portrayed as second only to Achilles in martial standing and as a paragon of defensive strength and reliability.
A mortal Greek heroic warrior of the Trojan War (son of Oileus) distinguished from Ajax son of Telamon by the epithet "the Lesser." Celebrated for martial skill, he is chiefly remembered for a sacrilegious act at Athena's sanctuary during the sack of Troy that provoked divine vengeance and led to his violent death at sea; some locales and his native Locrians later maintained a hero-cult.
Alaksandu is attested in Hittite diplomatic texts as a historical king of Wilusa (commonly identified with Late Bronze Age Troy) who concluded a treaty with the Hittite king Muwatalli II ca. 1280 BCE. The name appears non-Anatolian and has been plausibly identified as a Hittite transcription of Greek Alexandros, a point used in scholarship to link a historical ruler with later Homeric Alexandros/Paris.
In ancient Greek mythopoetic imagination, Alala (Ἀλαλά) is the personification of the war-cry: the onomatopoeic shout of battle made into a figure who attends Ares on the battlefield and embodies the rallying/terrifying cry of soldiers.
Alalcomenes (also Alalcomeneus) is an eponymous autochthonous figure from ancient Greek tradition associated with Boeotia, cited as the name-giver of the town Alalcomenae. Sources treat him as a local foundational or etiological figure rather than as an active mythic agent with narrated deeds.
Alastor (Ancient Greek: Ἀλάστωρ) is a concept-personification in Greek tradition denoting an avenging spirit or personified curse that punishes certain moral offences—especially familial bloodshed—and operates alongside chthonic avengers such as the Erinyes. Over time the term broadened to a secular insult and was reinterpreted in later Christian demonology as a type of possessing evil spirit.
Alatreus is a youthful mythic warrior named in Roman-era treatments of Greek myth (notably Statius's Thebaid). He is identified as the son of Lapithaon and the nymph Dercetis and appears as a tender-aged but effective combatant in battlefield episodes.
Alazṓn (Ancient Greek: ἀλαζών) is a theatrical stock character of ancient Greek comedy who functions as an impostor or braggart: a figure who overestimates and theatrically misrepresents his own qualities and social status. As an archetype he generates comic situations, serves as the opponent of the eirôn, and recurs across Greek and Roman comedy, commedia dell'arte, and later drama.
Alcaeus (Ancient Greek: Ἀλκαῖος / Alkaios) is a mythological mortal prince in Greek genealogical tradition, commonly presented as a son of Perseus and father of Amphitryon whose role is chiefly to connect major heroic houses (Perseid line, Amphitryon, and thus the ancestry of Heracles). He functions as a dynastic node rather than a cult figure or supernatural being.
Alcander or Alcandrus is a personal name borne by several distinct mythic humans in Greek and Roman epic traditions: a Molossian seer who was transformed by Zeus into a wren, a Lycian warrior slain at Troy, and a companion of Aeneas killed in Italy. The entries are separate narrative figures rather than a single recurrent supernatural species.
Alcathous (Ancient Greek: Ἀλκάθοος) is a mortal heroic prince in Greek myth, son of King Pelops of Pisa and Hippodamia, associated with the Pelopid house and remembered as the reputed founder-eponym of the Megarian citadel called Alcathoe. He is credited in some local traditions with slaying the Cithaeronian lion and functions primarily as a genealogical and topographical founder-figure rather than a supernatural being.
Alces is a minor figure in Greek mythographic genealogies: an Egyptian prince counted among the sons of King Aegyptus and named as the husband of the Danaid Glauce. He is attested only in catalog-style lists of Aegyptid sons and not as an independently active or culted supernatural being.
Alcestis (Ancient Greek: Ἄλκηστις, Álkēstis) is a mortal princess of Greek myth famed for voluntarily dying in place of her husband Admetus and being temporarily returned from the underworld through Heracles’ intervention. Her story highlights conjugal devotion, substitutive death, and the need for purification after contact with chthonic powers.
Alcidamea (also given as Alcidamia) is attested in classical mythographic sources as a mortal woman of Corinthian genealogy: the partner of the god Hermes and mother of Bunus (Bounos). Separately, Alcidamea is the Latinized name used in modern entomological taxonomy for a subgenus of solitary bees (Hoplitis (Alcidamea)).
Alcidice (Ancient Greek: Ἀλκιδίκη, Alkidíkē) is presented in the supplied sources as an Arcadian princess in Greek mythic genealogy: daughter of King Aleus, wife of Salmoneus of Elis, and mother of Tyro. She functions as a mortal genealogical connector; the sources treat her as a human noblewoman rather than a divine or supernatural being.
Alcimede (Ancient Greek Ἀλκιμέδη, 'mighty cunning') is a mortal woman of heroic-age Greek myth: daughter of Phylacus and Clymene, wife of Aeson, and in several traditions the mother of the hero Jason. She functions as a genealogical and maternal figure in the Argonautic cycle rather than as a supernatural being.
Alcimedon is a personal name borne by several distinct figures in Greek myth and later literary tradition rather than a single supernatural entity. Attestations include a Tyrrhenian sailor metamorphosed into a dolphin for attempting to abduct the infant Dionysus; an Arcadian eponymous hero tied to a plain and family narratives; a Myrmidon commander under Patroclus in the Trojan War cycle; a skilled craftsman mentioned in Virgil's Eclogue 3; and a Locrian companion of Ajax the Lesser slain at Troy.
Alcimenes (Ancient Greek Ἀλκιμένης) is a personal name borne by multiple mortal figures in Greek myth and literary history — including a Boeotian prince, one of the sons of Jason and Medea, and several authors. The sources treat Alcimenes as human characters within mytho-historical narratives and literary tradition rather than as a distinct supernatural class or spirit.
Alcimus is a name used for multiple figures in classical and Jewish-historical traditions. Most prominently, Alcimus (Greek Alkimos; Hebrew Elyaqum / Jakeimos) is recorded in Hellenistic Jewish sources as a high priest of Israel (c. 162–159 BCE) associated with pro-Seleucid, Hellenizing policies and opposition to the Maccabean revolt; separately, the same Greek name appears as a label for several minor mortal figures in Greek mythographic and epic lists.
Alcinous (Ancient Greek: Ἀλκίνοος, Alkínoos, "mighty mind") is a legendary human king of the Phaeacians in Greek epic tradition. He is portrayed as an ideal hospitable monarch who receives wandering heroes (notably Odysseus and the Argonauts), presides over feasts and games, adjudicates disputes, and provides ships, gifts, and safe passage. Variant genealogies and island-identifications appear across sources, but his role as a beneficent royal host is consistent.
Alcippe (Ancient Greek: Alkippe / ᾿Αλκιππή) is a personal name applied to multiple distinct female figures in Greek mythic genealogies—including a daughter of Ares, an Amazon, and one of the Alcyonides—rather than a single uniform supernatural being.
Alcmaeon (Ancient Greek: Ἀλκμαίων, Alkmaíōn) is a heroic human figure in Greek mythic‑historic genealogy, known chiefly as one of the Epigoni who led the Argives to capture Thebes in revenge for the Seven against Thebes and as an eponymous ancestor claimed by the Alcmaeonidae. Multiple distinct personages share the name in different traditions.
Alcmene is a mortal heroine of Greek myth, daughter of Electryon and wife of Amphitryon, best known as the mother of Heracles by Zeus. She appears in multiple classical sources as a noble matron whose body becomes the site of divine intervention in the conception and birth of Heracles and who received at least local veneration in antiquity.
Alcmenor (Ancient Greek: Ἀλκμήνωρ) is a mythic human prince in Greek genealogy, named as one of the sons of King Aegyptus. He is recorded as having married the Danaid Hippomedusa and being slain on his wedding night when the daughters of Danaus killed their husbands on their father's command.
A lost early Greek epic poem (Ancient Greek: Ἀλκμεωνίς / Ἀλκμαιωνίς) traditionally counted among the Theban cycle; known only from a small number of fragmentary references, it narrated the story of Alcmaeon’s killing of his mother Eriphyle in vengeance for the death of his father Amphiaraus.
Alcon (Ancient Greek: Ἄλκων) is a personal name borne by several mortal figures in Greek mythic and genealogical traditions, typically noted as skilled hunters or archers and appearing in local dynastic or hunting narratives rather than as a distinct supernatural being.
Alcyone is a minor figure of ancient Greek myth who, in variant traditions, is transformed into the kingfisher (Greek ἀλκυών). Two main traditions survive: an Attic tale in which Sciron casts his daughter into the sea for sexual transgression (reported via Pseudo-Probus/Theodorus), and the better-known Alcyone-and-Ceyx couple-story (Ovid/Nicander tradition) in which divine pity results in metamorphosis and an etiological explanation for the "halcyon days."
A married pair from ancient Greek myth whose tragic fates and divine transformations into seabirds (especially the kingfisher) explain the naming of the halcyon birds and an associated brief winter calm known as the 'halcyon days.' Variants in classical authors present either punishment for hubris or compassionate metamorphosis after a shipwreck.
Alcyoneus (Ancient Greek Alkyoneús, Ἀλκυονεύς) is a colossal monstrous figure in Greek myth, variably presented as one of the Gigantes (Giants) born of Gaia and as a singular enormous hostile herdsman/warrior opposed to Heracles. Noted for prodigious strength and for a peculiar invulnerability tied to his native land, he is defeated when Heracles drags him out of his homeland at Athena's counsel in one influential tradition.
In Greek myth the Alcyonides (Ancient Greek: Ἀλκυονίδες) are the seven daughters of the giant Alcyoneus who, in despair at their father's death at the hands of Heracles, threw themselves into the sea at Kanastraion (the peak of Pellene) and were transformed by the sea-goddess Amphitrite into halcyons (kingfishers). The name links them etymologically to the bird (alkyone) and to local place-names (the Alkyonides islets).
Alebion (Ancient Greek: Ἀλεβίων; also Albion, Ialebion) is a mythic Ligurian leader, son of Poseidon and brother of Dercynus (also called Bergion or Ligys), who with his brother attacked Heracles during the hero’s return from the Tenth Labour and was slain after Heracles prayed to Zeus and fought with the aegis.
