Separately, a brief classical mythographic notice records a mortal woman named Asteropeia — a daughter who, with her sisters, murdered her father and was later commemorated by tomb-mounds in Arcadia. The sources treat these as distinct usages of the same name rather than a single supernatural entity.

Atira asteroids are a scarce dynamical class of near‑Earth small bodies whose orbits lie entirely interior to Earth's orbit (aphelion < Earth's perihelion, 0.983 AU). Named after the archetype 163693 Atira, the class is observationally challenging because members appear close to the Sun on the sky and are typically detectable only in twilight or by space‑based surveys. Their significance is primarily taxonomic and operational within planetary science — affecting survey strategy, orbital tracking, and study of dynamical evolution among NEOs.

Badang is a legendary Malay culture-hero and supernaturally empowered strongman who gains immense physical strength after capturing a water spirit.
