Sources provided do not supply an origin narrative or mythic tale for Achuhucanac. The attested linguistic form ašu_hu_kanak is reported to mean “that is in the rain” or “that who is in the rain,” which situates the entity conceptually as immanent within the phenomenon of rain. One brief account records Achuhucanac as the rain god of Tenerife and notes an identification or conflation with Achamán, the Supreme God of Guanche tradition; beyond these lexical and functional statements no creation or origin story is preserved in the supplied materials.
No descriptions of physical appearance, anthropomorphic form, iconography, or visual attributes for Achuhucanac are provided in the available sources. The supplied material offers only the name, etymology, and functional association with rain, and explicitly contains no documented depiction.
Attested sources identify Achuhucanac primarily with rain, characterizing the entity as the rain god or as that which is in the rain (from the reported etymology). One source further identifies Achuhucanac with Achamán, the Supreme God of the Guanche, which in those accounts implies either an aspectual relation (a rain aspect of the supreme deity) or outright synonymy; the sources do not provide additional powers, behaviors, personality traits, or mythic actions beyond these functional and theological identifications.
Achilles (son of Zeus)
A minor figure in Greek myth named Akhilleus (Ancient Greek: Ἀχιλλεύς), presented in some traditions as a son of Zeus and the Lamia who was famed for irresistible beauty, won a beauty contest judged by Pan, and was transformed into ugliness by Aphrodite. This Akhilleus is distinct from the Homeric hero of the Trojan War.
Achiroe
Achiroe (variants Anchirrhoë, Anchinoë/Ankhinoe) is a minor Greek mythological figure: a Naiad associated with the river Nile, daughter of the river-god Nilus, who becomes the wife of the Egyptian king Belus and mother of mythic progenitors such as Aegyptus and Danaus (with some accounts also naming Cepheus and Phineus). She functions primarily as a genealogical link between river-divinity and royal lineages rather than as an active agent in surviving myths.
Achish
Achish (Hebrew: אָכִישׁ, translit. ʾāḵīš) is a personal name or royal designation used in the Hebrew Bible for Philistine rulers associated with the city of Gath and is attested in extrabiblical West-Semitic and Akkadian inscriptions (rendered as ʾākayūš / Ikausu). Sources treat Achish as a human king (or a dynastic title) who interacts with Israelite figures such as David and appears in narratives concerning asylum, military service, and inter-polity politics.
Achlys
Achlys (Ancient Greek Ἀχλύς) is a literary personification and lexical term for 'mist' or 'dark vapour' in Greek poetry. She functions variously as the mist that clouds a dying mortal's eyes in Homer, a grotesque personified embodiment of sorrow and death on the Shield of Heracles, and (in later poetry) as a supplier of poisonous/enchanted pharmaka associated with Thessalian witchcraft; a Roman mythographic tradition equates her with Caligo in a cosmogonic role.
Achtland
Achtland is a figure from Irish tradition who, according to the surviving account, was a mortal woman famed for rejecting mortal suitors who married a member of the Tuatha Dé Danann and crossed into the síde to become immortal as his wife.
Achuar nonhuman persons (including kuntiniu nukuri)
In Achuar cosmology many animals, plants, and other nonhuman beings are persons with human-like souls who communicate and form long-term, kin-like relationships with people. A specifically named class are the game guardians called kuntiniu nukuri ('game mothers'), whose relations with hunters shape hunting success and ethical obligations.
Achyuta
Achyuta (Sanskrit: अच्युत, acyuta) is primarily an epithet/theonym in Vaishnava Hindu tradition applied to Vishnu and Krishna, signifying the divine quality of being 'not fallen' — immutable, infallible, and imperishable. It functions as a devotional name in scripture, liturgy, and Pancharatra lists of divine emanations rather than as an autonomous folkloric spirit.
Acintya
Acintya is an Indonesian Hindu theological-symbolic representation of the ineffable supreme divine principle. In Balinese and Javanese practice it functions as a way to make ultimate reality present in ritual and art—often aniconically as an empty throne (padmasana) or anthropomorphically as a naked, flame-surrounded figure—rather than as a narrative, intervening deity.
Acionna
Acionna is a local Gallo-Roman water goddess attested by a single votive inscription found at a spring in the Orléanais region. The inscription, discovered by Jollois in 1822 and datable by style to the 2nd century CE, dedicates a portico and ornaments "AUG(ustae) ACIONNAE" and was recovered from the Fontaine de l'Étuvée in Orléans; archaeological work in 2007 uncovered remains of a Gallo-Roman temple and a section of an aqueduct at the site.
Acis and Galatea
A pair of lovers from ancient Greek myth: Galatea is a Nereid (sea-nymph) traditionally counted among the daughters of Nereus and Doris; Acis is a mortal youth in classical accounts who, in Ovid's poetic version, is killed by the Cyclops Polyphemus and transformed by Galatea into a river-spirit, explaining a Sicilian stream.
Acmon
Acmon (Ancient Greek: Ἄκμων, 'anvil') is a polyvalent personal name in Greek myth borne by several distinct minor figures — a Dactyl (artisan), a Phrygian eponymous king, a mischievous woodland creature, companions in epic cycles (one companion of Diomedes transformed into a bird; an Aenead), and in some brief traditions an alleged father of Uranus. The name therefore functions across artisanal, topographical, trickster, and metamorphosis motifs rather than denoting a single unified supernatural species.
Acontes
Acontes (Ancient Greek: Ἀκόντην) is an Arcadian prince in Greek mythology, counted among the fifty sons of the impious King Lycaon. He appears in the Lycaon narrative as a participant in a sacrilegious meal prepared for Zeus (disguised as a peasant) and is destroyed by the god's lightning as punishment.
