No mythic origin narrative, birth story, or legend about Acteis is provided in the supplied sources. In the Greek mythographic material cited she appears only as a genealogical marker: the mother, by Alector, of Clonius, who is described as one of the Boeotian leaders in the Trojan War. The sources do not relate any further life events, deeds, or an independent origin for Acteis herself; her attestation functions solely to establish parentage within variant genealogical traditions.
The provided mythographic excerpts give no physical description, iconography, or attributes for Acteis; she is not described beyond being the mother of Clonius. The taxonomic use of the string 'Acteis' as a genus-name likewise carries no morphological description in the supplied materials beyond being listed as a genus and as part of a species synonymy (Acteis margaritae Fowler, 1944 → Malacoctenus margaritae).
No supernatural powers, behaviors, or functions are ascribed to Acteis in the given sources. In the mythic material her only attested 'action' is biological/relational—being the mother of Clonius by Alector. The taxonomic usage is a nomenclatural label and does not imply abilities.

Acrisius
Acrisius (Ancient Greek: Ἀκρίσιος, Akrisios) is a mythic-historical king of Argos in Greek tradition whose narrative is defined by an oracular prophecy foretelling his death by his daughter's son. He is portrayed as a mortal ruler entangled with dynastic rivalry, oracular authority, and the eventual accidental fulfillment of fate.
Acron (King of the Caeninenses)
Historical figure and leader of the Caeninenses, a neighboring tribe to the Romans. Rejected the proposal of intermarriage with Romulus. (Note: 1. Power tier: Acron is described as a king, but no source material indicates his abilities or powers are deity-level (Ancient) or cosmic (Primordial). Greater seems plausible. 2. Origin story: The dr)
Actaea
Actaea is a named sea‑nymph in Greek mythic lists, identified in the provided sources as the personification or eponym of the seashore. She appears primarily in onomastic and catalogue contexts (lists of nymphs/Nereids) and has no surviving independent narrative or cultic rites attested in the cited material.
Actaeon
A mortal hunter of Greek myth who, in multiple traditions, is transformed into a stag and torn apart by his own hounds after transgressing the goddess Artemis. He functions as a mythic exemplar about proper deference to divine boundaries and, in some locales, became the focus of cultic rites and memorials.
Actaeus
Actaeus (Ancient Greek: Ἀκταῖος, Aktaîos, literally 'coast-man') is a legendary early human king in Greek mythic‑historical tradition. He is presented as an eponymous, autochthonous ruler associated with the older place‑name(s) for Attica (Acte/Actaea/Actica) and appears in genealogies that connect him to later Athenian founders such as Cecrops.
Acte (Akte)
Acte (Ancient Greek Akte, sometimes rendered Acme) is a divine personification in Greek myth: one of the Horae who embodies a particular hour of the day — specifically the hour of eating and pleasure, a designated afternoon work-hour — and functions chiefly as a temporal marker rather than an active mythic agent.
Actia
Actia (Ancient Greek: Ἄκτια) is attested in the supplied sources not as a supernatural being but as (a) the ancient festival and epithet of Apollo Actius associated with Actium and Nicopolis, and (b) a modern taxonomic and commercial name (genus of flies; company and product names). No folkloric or mythic entity named Actia is documented in the provided materials.
Adad
Adad (also Hadad, Haddad; Sumerian Iškur) is the storm- and rain-deity attested in ancient Mesopotamian and Canaanite religious contexts. Sources identify him as a principal weather god whose domain is storms and rainfall and whose name appears across multiple Near Eastern languages and sites, including Ebla (as Hadda, c. 2500 BCE).
Adam
In the Hebrew Bible (Genesis 1–5) Adam is the first human, both as an individual progenitor and as a term for humankind. Created by God from the dust of the ground and animated by God's breath, Adam is placed in the Garden of Eden, names the animals, receives divine command, disobeys with Eve, and fathers the first named human descendants (Cain, Abel, Seth).
Adam (ʾĀdam)
In Islamic theology Adam (Arabic: آدم, ʾĀdam) is presented as the first human being and the first prophet (nabī), created by God from earth/clay, granted life by God's spirit, placed in a paradisal Garden, taught knowledge (the "Names"), tested by divine command, tempted by Iblīs, and ultimately sent to live and die on Earth while remaining eligible for repentance and forgiveness.
Adam Kadmon
Adam Kadmon (Hebrew: אָדָם קַדְמוֹן) is the Kabbalistic Primordial Man: a supra‑human, archetypal pattern or persona projected at the first stage of creation after God's contraction (tzimtzum). It is a metaphysical template corresponding to the highest aspect of divine intention and the sefirotic structure rather than a historical, corporeal individual.
Adam Kasia
In Mandaeism, Adam Kasia ('the hidden Adam') is the primordial, luminous human principle representing the soul of the first man and, by extension, the soul present in every human. He is an archetypal heavenly Adam, attested in Mandaean liturgical and priestly texts and associated in sources with the prototypical priestly figure Shishlam and a hidden/radiant Eve (Hawa Kasia).
