Lesser

Euryte (daughter of Hippodamas)

Euryte (Ancient Greek Εὐρύτη) is a mortal woman preserved in Greek mythographic genealogies as the wife of Porthaon, king of Calydon, and the mother of several princes including Oeneus. She functions primarily as an ancestress in Apollodorus’ tradition and related summaries; no independent cult, powers, or narratives are attested for her in the cited sources. The name Euryte is shared by other mythic women (e.g., a nymph mother of Halirrhothius), and manuscript variants sometimes produce similar name-forms.

Lesser

Eusorus

Eusorus (Ancient Greek Εύσωρος, Eusōros/Eusorus) is an otherwise-unknown named ancestor attested in Greek epic and mythographic genealogies. He functions as a paternal or grandpaternal figure used to anchor the origins of better-known figures such as Aenete, Cyzicus, and Acamas; no myths, deeds, cult, or physical descriptions are recorded for him in the cited sources.

Greater

Euterpe

Euterpe is one of the nine Muses of Greek myth, daughter of Mnemosyne and Zeus, traditionally associated with music and (in later usage) lyric poetry. She functions as a divine inspirer of musicians and poets and is cultically associated with sacred springs and poetic sanctuaries such as Mount Helicon and Mount Parnassus.

Lesser

Evander of Pallantium

Evander of Pallantium (Greek Εὔανδρος) is a mythic Arcadian culture-hero and founder-figure credited in Roman and Greek traditions with bringing Greek laws, religious observances, and the alphabet to early Italy, founding a settlement called Pallantium on the site of Rome's Palatine Hill and instituting cultic practices later visible in Roman life.

Lesser

Evander of Pallene

A Greek culture-hero in Roman mytho-historical tradition credited with founding Pallantium on the future site of Rome's Palatine Hill and with transmitting elements of Greek religion, law, and alphabetic culture to Italy; later reported to have been deified with an altar on the Aventine.

Minor Spirit

Evil eye

A cross-cultural folkloric belief in a harmful influence cast by a person's gaze or look, usually motivated by envy or ill will. Treated as a transmissible curse or force rather than a corporeal being, it is countered by apotropaic objects, formulas, plants, and gestures in many traditions.

Lesser

Faun

A faun is a Roman mythic being combining human and goat-like features, originally conceived as rustic local spirits (genii) of the countryside and later visually conflated with Greek satyrs and the god Pan; they are associated with pastoral fertility, revelry, and an ambivalent role toward travelers in wild places.

Lesser

Fauna

Fauna is a Roman feminine divine figure associated with the countryside, fertility, and animal life; she is presented as the feminine counterpart or personified form related to the male rural deity Faunus and connected to the same pastoral/woodland complex as the fauns.

Ancient

Faunus

Faunus is an ancient Roman rustic deity and tutelary nature god of forests, plains, and fields, protector of agriculture and cattle. He functions as an oracular and fertility power, head of a plurality of lesser fauni (place-spirits), and was celebrated in festivals such as the Faunalia and associated with the Lupercalia rites.

Ancient

Ficus Ruminalis

In ancient Roman mythology, the Ficus Ruminalis is a wild fig tree associated with mythological events and protected by deities. (Note: * Power tier should be adjusted from Ancient to Lesser (due to lack of deity-level powers or abilities) * Origin story should be rephrased to clarify the Ficus Ruminalis is not an entity in itself, bu)

Minor Spirit

Fides

Fides is the Roman personification and goddess of trust, faithfulness, and good faith (bona fides). Treated both as an ethical virtue and a divine presence, she was cultivated in public religion through ceremonies and temples to uphold social and legal trust.

Greater

Fire-breathing monster

A cross-cultural mythic category of monster defined by the ability to expel flame (or fire-like phenomenon) from the mouth or nostrils. Appears in multiple traditions (e.g., Greco-Roman, Hebrew/Biblical, Anglo‑Saxon, Japanese, Philippine, Native American, West African, Mapuche) and in modern fantasy as a recurring trope.

Lesser

Flora

Flora is the Roman divine personification associated with flowers, spring, and vegetative fertility. She functioned as a named cultic figure within Roman religion, attested in sources that link her to a priestly office and to temple dedication(s), and her name later supplied the Latin root for the modern term 'flora' denoting plant-life.

Lesser

Fontus (Fons)

Fontus (Latin Fons, pl. Fontes) is a deity in ancient Roman religion associated with wells, springs, and fountains. He is honored in the calendar festival Fontinalia (October 13), appears in ritual inscriptions (including Mithraic dedications as Fons Perennis), and is named in Roman religious records such as an Arval Brothers expiatory sacrifice.

Lesser

Forest Bull

A marvelous bovine attested in ancient natural-history and medieval bestiary traditions, the Forest Bull (Aethiopian or Ethiopian Forest Bull) is described by classical authors as an extraordinary, dangerous breed of cattle reported from Ethiopia and depicted with hyperbolic size, strength, and near-invulnerability.

Ancient

Fortuna

Fortuna is the Roman divine personification of fortune, chance, and the capricious turning of events. Worshiped in multiple local and functional aspects, she could bestow prosperity or withdraw it; her action was read both as arbitrary caprice and as connected to civic virtue.

Lesser

Founding of Rome

The collective process of gradual union and formation of settlements on hilltops in ancient Rome. (Note: - Power tier: Primordial (not Lesser, as it's a historical process rather than a supernatural entity) - Abilities: Remove "The exact nature of this process is unclear" and replace with something accur)

Minor Spirit

Frankish Paganism

A polytheistic tradition that evolved among the Franks until the 7th century, influenced by Germanic and Greco-Roman components. (Note: - Remove "Minor Spirit" power tier (inconsistent with polytheistic tradition and influence from Greco-Roman components) - Summary should include Frankish paganism's decline and eventual replacement by)

Ancient

Furies (Erinyes / Eumenides)

Chthonic goddesses of vengeance in classical Greek religion and myth who personify retributive justice, especially punishing false oaths and certain moral-legal transgressions; later identified with Roman Furiae/Dirae.

Primordial

Gaia

Gaia is the ancient Greek personification of the Earth and a protogenos who arises after Chaos. She functions as the maternal foundation of the cosmos, producing principal elements (mountains, sea), primordial beings (Uranus, Titans, Cyclopes, Hecatoncheires), and acting as advisor and agent in key theogonic events.

Lesser

Galli

The galli are ritual specialists associated with the Phrygian goddess Cybele (Magna Mater) and her consort Attis who, in Hellenistic and Roman contexts, performed ecstatic mourning rites, adopted feminine presentation, and in some accounts underwent castration. They functioned as liminal performers of sacred ecstasy and mediators of the goddess’s power within an officially recognized foreign cult in Rome from the early 3rd century BCE onward.

Lesser

Garamas

Garamas (Ancient Greek Γαράμας) is a mythic eponymous ancestor named in Greek-language accounts to explain the ethnonym Garamantes and the city Garama in Libya. Presented in Hellenic mythographic tradition as a founder or first-born figure, he appears in genealogical and poetic fragments rather than as a described supernatural agent.

Ancient

Genius (genii)

In Roman tradition, the genius is the guiding, tutelary spirit associated with an individual, a family (gens), or a place (genius loci). Originally a numinous presence tied to birth, generation, and lineage, the term later developed a secondary meaning of exceptional personal inspiration or talent.

Greater

Genius Loci

In classical Roman religion the genius loci is the protective, guiding spirit inherent to a particular place. It functions as the object of local cult and sacrifice intended to secure the well-being and continuity of houses, neighborhoods, and by extension political territory.

Lesser

Geraestus the Cyclops

Geraestus (Geraistos) is a named member of the Cyclopes in Greek tradition whose tomb near Athens is cited in mythic histories. He is chiefly attested as the occupant/identifier of a grave that functions as the location for an extreme ritual (the sacrificial slaying of the daughters of Hyacinth) ordered by an oracle during a famine and pestilence in the generation of Aegeus and the Minos conflict. The name also appears as a toponym in Homeric itineraries.

Lesser

Giasone

Giasone is the Italian form of the mythic Greek hero Jason, presented in a 17th-century Italian opera (Cavalli's Giasone) and in retellings of the Jason and Medea cycle. He is a mortal leader of the Argonauts whose success in the quest for the Golden Fleece depends on martial courage and the active intervention of supernatural agents—most notably Medea's sorcery and chthonic powers.

Lesser

Gladiator (Kallark)

A historical social role in Roman civic and funerary ritual: armed combatants (Latin: gladiatores) who fought in public spectacles (munera) for commemorative, political, and entertainment purposes. The available sources treat gladiators as human performers and social actors rather than supernatural beings.

Lesser

Glauce

Glauce (Ancient Greek Γλαύκη, Latin Glauca) is a recurring female proper name in Greek myth applied to several distinct figures — sea-nymph (including a Nereid), Arcadian nurse of Zeus, and various mortal princesses (notably the Corinthian bride in the Medea cycle). The name evokes a blue‑green gleam and in some traditions personifies a sea‑color; the figures bearing it function chiefly as attendants, dynastic daughters, or tragic victims rather than as individually powerful supernatural agents.

Ancient

Goddess

A goddess is a female deity — a sacred female divine figure found across many polytheistic and religious traditions. The term functions as a classificatory label for diverse culturally specific female divinities and metaphysical female principles, ranging from local patronesses to supreme cosmic realities.

Primordial

Golden Bough (Aeneid)

The Golden Bough is a supernatural object in Roman mythology that facilitates Aeneas's passage into the Underworld, requiring his divine favor. (Note: 1. Power tier: Primordial - This appears too high given the description of the Golden Bough facilitating Aeneas's passage into the Underworld with divine favor, but not having any further cosmic or cr)

Primordial

Greek Primordial Deities

The Greek primordial deities are the first generation of divine, often non-anthropomorphic personifications of fundamental forces, places, and structural elements of the cosmos (e.g., Chaos, Gaia, Tartarus, Eros, Nyx, Erebus). Presented most fully in Hesiod's Theogony and later summaries, they serve as ontological principles that generate later gods, monsters, and the order of the world and were generally not the objects of active cult in the provided sources.

Primordial (cosmic)

Greek and Roman Mythological Figures

A collection of gods, goddesses, and mythological figures from ancient Greek and Roman mythology. (Note: - Power tier: Incorrectly classified as Primordial (cosmic). Greek gods are typically considered deities-level (Ancient). - Abilities: While they do possess supernatural abilities, the specific claims)

Greater

Griffin

The griffin (also griffon, gryphon) is a composite legendary creature combining the body, tail, and hind legs of a lion with the head, wings, and often taloned forelegs of an eagle. In classical and medieval Eurasian traditions it functions chiefly as a majestic guardian figure associated with rulership and the protection of treasure, and appears widely across artistic vocabularies rather than as a single codified religious being.

Lesser

Gryneus

Gryneus is a polysemous name attested in modern biological taxonomy (Callophrys gryneus, the juniper/olive hairstreak), as an epithet of the classical god Apollo in data records, as the name of a centaur slain in the Lapith–centaur fight in a mythic source, and as the Latinized surname of an early modern theologian (Ioannes/ Johann Iacobus Grynaeus). The supplied sources do not present Gryneus as a single supernatural entity within a living folk cosmology.

Lesser

Gyas

Gyas is a named mortal captain in Virgil's Aeneid, portrayed as one of Aeneas's seafaring leaders and a competitor in the funeral‑games boat race (Book 5). He is remembered for ordering his helmsman Menoetes to steer tightly and then casting him overboard when the order was not followed; later he is briefly reported to have beheaded Ufens (Book 12.460).

Ancient

Hades

In ancient Greek religion and mythology, Hades is the god who rules the subterranean realm of the dead and presides over all things beneath the earth, including subterranean riches. He is a son of Cronus and Rhea and one of the generation of Olympian gods, allotted the underworld after the Titanomachy.

Lesser

Halaesus

Halaesus (also Halesus; Latin Alesi) is a named figure in Greek and Roman mytho-historical tradition, portrayed as a mortal hero/warrior. He appears in two main strands: as an Emathian Lapith killed at the wedding of Pirithous and Hippodamia, and as a companion (sometimes called an illegitimate son) of Agamemnon who, after escaping the slaughter at Mycenae, travels to Italy and is credited with founding Falerii; in Roman epic tradition he fights against Aeneas and is slain by Pallas.

Lesser

Halius

Halius is not a single supernatural being but an Ancient Greek personal name borne by several distinct mortal characters in epic tradition. The name (Ancient Greek Ἅλιόν / Ἅλιός, 'of the sea') appears for different individuals in Homeric and Virgilian narrative cycles — warriors, princes, suitors, and companions — each treated as a human actor within heroic-era stories.

Lesser

Harpies

Harpies are winged, half-human/half-bird beings from Greek (and later Roman-identified) myth, commonly portrayed as swift personifications of storm winds and as agents of theft or vengeance in epic and heroic narratives.

Greater

Harpy

In Greek and Roman myth, a harpy is a hybrid bird-human creature and personification of storm-winds that acts as an agent of divine punishment — snatching food, fouling victuals, and carrying off or tormenting wrongdoers, sometimes delivering them to chthonic justice.

Lesser

Helenus (son of Priam)

Helenus is a Trojan prince in Greek epic tradition notable for his prophetic gift. Presented as a mortal seer who 'divined the counsel of the gods' in Homeric passages, later tradition (notably Virgil) extends him into a post-war ruler who helps preserve Trojan identity.

Ancient

Helios

Helios is the ancient Greek personification and god of the Sun who drives his horse-drawn chariot across the sky each day, serves as an all-seeing witness and guardian of oaths, and figures in Homeric myth and later syncretic solar cults. He was the patron deity of Rhodes and had important cult presence at Corinth; relatively minor in Classical Greece, his prominence increased in late antiquity through identification with Apollo and the Roman Sol.

Lesser

Heracleidae

The Heracleidae (Ancient Greek: Ἡρακλεῖδαι) are the collective descendants of the hero Heracles invoked in Greek myth and historiography as a kin-group whose pedigree justifies dynastic rule and territorial claims. In tradition they are mortal dynasts and legendary founders whose exile, repeated attempts to reclaim ancestral lands, consultation of the Delphic oracle, and eventual 'Return of the Heraclidae' explain the founding of Dorian and other ruling houses in the Peloponnese.

Ancient

Hercules

Hercules (Latin: Hercules) is the Roman reception of the Greek divine hero Heracles: a semi-divine, divinized heroic figure son of Jupiter and the mortal Alcmena who was widely venerated across Italy. Represented in cult, votive art, and literature, he functions as a protector and martial champion whose identity was adapted through Etruscan and local Italic contexts.

Lesser

Hercules's Dog (discoverer of Tyrian purple)

A narrative animal actor in a Graeco‑Roman origin myth: Hercules's dog bites a sea‑snail (porphúra/murex) on a Phoenician beach, staining its mouth purple and triggering the discovery/origin story for Tyrian purple. The episode is attested in literary tradition and represented in later art (notably Rubens).

Primordial

Heroides (Roman tradition)

A collection of epistolary poems by Ovid presenting letters from mythological heroines to their lovers. (Note: - Power tier: Change to "Ancient" (they are literary creations by Ovid, not cosmic entities) - Appearance: Clarify that they exist solely as written words on paper in the collection of poems, but also)

Lesser

Hersilia

In Roman foundational tradition, Hersilia is a legendary woman who mediates between Romans and the abducted Sabine families during the early history of Rome; in some literary accounts she is later said to have been apotheosized and identified as Hora Quirini, linking her to the cultic sphere of Romulus/Quirinus.

Ancient

Hestia

Hestia is the ancient Greek goddess and personification of the hearth, domestic fire, home, and household life. As an immovable, virginal Olympian she presides over the private household hearth and the public prytaneum hearth, receiving the first portion of offerings and symbolizing domestic and civic continuity.

Lesser

Hippe

Hippe is a mythic woman in Greek tradition, described as a daughter of Chiron who possessed prophetic gifts and was transformed into a mare and placed among the stars as a constellation associated with the Horse (Pegasus/The Horse). Sources preserve variant names and narratives (Hippe/Melanippe/Euippe/Ocyrhoe) that converge on themes of prophetic speech, disclosure of forbidden divine knowledge, and metamorphosis as aetiology for a star‑figure.

Ancient

Hippeia

Hippeia (Ἱππεία) is a Greek name applied both to a mortal woman in heroic genealogies and to a cultic epithet of the goddess Athena meaning 'of horses' or 'equestrian'. As an epithet (Hippeia Athena) the name marks Athena's association with horses and chariotry; as a proper name it appears in mythic genealogies (wife of Elatus).

Lesser

Hippocoon

Hippocoon is a personal name in Greek myth borne by several distinct mortal figures — most prominently a Spartan king who usurped the throne from Tyndareus and was killed by Heracles, but also minor genealogical figures, a Thracian kinsman in Iliadic tradition, and an archer in Virgil's Aeneid. The name (Ancient Greek Ἱπποκόων) recurs across heroic, royal, and epic-competition narratives rather than designating a single supernatural entity.

Lesser

Hippolytos (Hippolytus)

Hippolytos is a mythic human figure of Greek tragic tradition: the chaste prince and son of Theseus whose rejection of sexual passion and women provokes Phaedra's false accusation and divine retribution (notably Aphrodite's vengeance and Poseidon's punishment) as dramatized in Euripides' Hippolytus and represented in ancient art.

Greater

Hiroim

Hiroim is a fictional Marvel Comics character portrayed as a member of the Shadow People who trained as a Shadow Priest tied to the Sakaaran story of the Sakaarson. He serves as a gladiator and a member of the Warbound; after Caiera's death he inherits her ability to manipulate the Oldpower and later absorbs the Shadow Priests' powers following Sakaar's destruction, accompanying the Hulk to Earth.

Primordial

Hirpi Sorani

Infernal fire god in ancient Etruscan and Roman pantheon, associated with volcanic fires and solar forces. (Note: 1. Power tier should be Ancient (deity-level) instead of Primordial. 2. No physical description is provided in the source material; delete or rephrase "Appearance" section accordingly. 3. Since specif)

Lesser

Hodites

Hodites is a proper name attested in ancient Greek mythic sources and modern secondary summaries for a small number of distinct individuals: a centaur named among those at the wedding of Pirithous and Hippodamia (killed by Mopsus), a named combatant slain by Clymenus in the Perseus–Phineus conflict, and an alternative reading in a genealogical list where Diodorus Siculus (in citation) uses the name for one of the sons of Heracles and Deianeira. The name functions as an onomastic item in lists and episodes rather than as a recurring supernatural class.

Lesser

Homer (tradition)

Homer is the traditional name given to the poet or poets credited with composing the Iliad and the Odyssey. Treated in ancient and later writings as an authorial identity that can be a historical individual, a rhapsodal role, or a legendary figure, Homer functions as a foundational cultural and educational authority in Greek literary tradition.

Lesser

Household deity

A household deity is a deity or spirit that protects the home and its members, cared for inside domestic spaces and integrated into everyday household ritual. The category spans distinct cultural instantiations — hearth goddesses, ancestral family kami, and animistic house-spirits — and is characterized by reciprocal relations of offering and protection rather than cosmic sovereignty.

Lesser

Hylonome

Hylonome (Ancient Greek: Ὑλονόμη) is a female centaur from Greek mythology known primarily from Ovid's Metamorphoses (Book 12) as one half of a pair of centaur lovers; after her husband Cyllarus is killed in the battle between the Centaurs and the Lapiths she kills herself from grief.

Greater

Hypnos

Hypnos is the ancient Greek personification and god of sleep who induces slumber in mortals and gods. Son of Night (Nyx) and twin brother of Thanatos (Death), he dwells in liminal places associated with dreams and the underworld and appears in myth as a gentle, intervening deity.

Lesser

Hyrtacus

Hyrtacus is an obscure mortal figure of Greek myth associated with the Trojan War cycle. He is described as a comrade of King Priam, husband of Arisbe after Priam divorced her, and father of fighters who appear in epic narratives; the name is also used in modern biological taxonomy for a genus of insects.
