The name Aeropus appears in multiple, distinct origin traditions. In one strand recorded in mythic summaries, Aeropus is said to be the son of Ares and Aerope: Aerope died in labor, but “the child survived by sucking its dead mother's breasts, which Ares had caused to still produce an abundance of milk” (source: Aerope / Ares summaries cited in Wikidata and Greek myth summaries) (sources: Wikidata; Aerope entry summaries) . In other local genealogical accounts Aeropus is instead presented as a son of Cepheus, King of Tegea, serving as an eponymous ancestor within Arcadian/Tegean royal lineages and cited as father or ancestor of the hero-king Echemus (sources: Wikipedia list; Greek Legends and Myths; regional Arcadia summaries). Separately, the same name is borne by historical figures called Aeropus I and Aeropus II of Macedon and by an individual named Aeropus in the Botres metamorphosis tale who becomes a bird; these are distinct referents sharing the name rather than a single continuous biography (sources: Wikipedia; pothos.org; Wikipedia Aeropus entry).
The provided sources offer no descriptive iconography or physical depiction for Aeropus. Different referents carrying the name imply different plausible appearances (a mortal youth or king in genealogical lists; a bird in the Botres metamorphosis), but no primary description or established iconographic attributes for any Aeropus is recorded in the cited material (sources: Wikipedia; Wikidata; Greek legends summaries).
No ongoing supernatural powers or recurring magical behaviors are attributed to Aeropus in the supplied sources. The Ares–Aerope tradition includes a miraculous infancy detail—survival by nursing at his dead mother's breasts made to produce milk by Ares—which is a one-time narrative miracle concerning his survival rather than an repeatedly exercised power (source: Aerope / Ares summaries). Other attestations present Aeropus as a genealogical/royal figure (father/ancestor of Echemus; Macedonian kings) implying social or martial status by kinship and office in their respective traditions, but the sources do not ascribe sorcery, haunting, or spirit-activity to him (sources: Greek Legends and Myths; Arcadia summaries; Wikipedia).

Aepytus
Aepytus (Ancient Greek: Αἴπυτος, Aíputos/Aípytos, lit. 'steep, high, lofty') is a personal name in Greek myth borne by several legendary kings tied to Arcadian and Heraclid genealogies. The figures named Aepytus function as ancestral/dynastic nodes in literary genealogies and later literary receptions rather than as supernatural beings.
Aequitas
Aequitas is a Roman moral-legal concept denoting justice, equity, fair measure, and conformity that was sometimes personified as a female virtue in Roman iconography (notably on imperial coinage as Aequitas Augusti). Cicero frames aequitas as a tripartite standard linking obligations to the gods, the Manes, and other human beings.
Aerdrie Faenya
Aerdrie Faenya is attested in the supplied sources as a named fictional deity from the Dungeons & Dragons game setting. The provided materials record the name and classification but give no canonical details about appearance, domains, rites, or myths.
Aergia
Aergia (Ancient Greek: Ἀεργία) is the personification/goddess of sloth, idleness, indolence and laziness in Greco-Roman mythic thought. She appears in literary sources as a named personified quality and as an attendant or guardian in the household of Sleep (Hypnos/Somnus); Roman equivalents include Socordia and Ignavia.
Aernus
Aernus is a theonym attested in a small number of Roman-period inscriptions from the vicinity of Bragança (north-eastern Portugal). Scholarly discussion treats Aernus as a local or regional deity within the Lusitanian and Gallaecian pantheons, probably serving as a protector of a specific tribal group (the Zoelae) in a limited territorial horizon.
Aerope
Aerope (Ancient Greek: Ἀερόπη) is a mythological mortal woman of Greek tradition, a Cretan princess connected to the royal house of Mycenae (the Atreidai). In surviving accounts she functions as a human agent whose sexual relationships and/or the transfer of a symbolic object (the "golden lamb") are narrated as catalysts in the dynastic feuds of Atreus and Thyestes; sources preserve variant and sometimes conflicting traditions about her fate and parentage.
Aesacus
Aesacus (Ancient Greek: Αἴσακος) is a mythic son of King Priam of Troy who, grieving the death of a river-nymph beloved, throws himself from a cliff and is transformed mid-plunge by the sea-goddess Tethys into a diving seabird (mergus). In some traditions (Apollodorus and Tzetzes) he is also described as a seer who learned dream-interpretation from his grandfather Merops and interprets Hecabe’s dream about Paris.
Aesar
Aesar is a term attested in comparative and antiquarian literature as a name or class-label applied to divine or semi‑divine beings in discussions of Etruscan religion. In the provided sources it appears chiefly in speculative comparisons with other pantheons (e.g., Norse Æsir, Irish 'Living Ones', Egyptian Asar/Osiris) and as a proposed Etruscan word meaning 'a god' in secondary commentary.
Aesculapius (Asclepius)
Aesculapius (Greek Asclepius) is the classical divine-hero of medicine and healing in ancient Greek religion and later Roman cult. He functioned as the patron and legitimating divine figure for temples, attendants (therapeutae), and organized healing practices; his emblem, the rod of Asclepius (a snake-entwined staff), endures as a symbol of medicine.
Aesepus
Aesepus is the personified river-god (potamos) of the Aesepus River in the Troad / northern Mysia of Anatolia. Attested in Hesiod's catalogue of river-children and in Homeric and geographic passages, Aesepus functions primarily as a topographical divine ancestor and eponym for a town and local genealogies.
Aeshma
Aeshma is the Zoroastrian hypostasis of wrath — a fiendish being who personifies rage and functions as an ontological opponent to Ahuric principles and ritual discipline. In scripture and later tradition he distracts worship, foments violence and drunkenness, can be driven off by prayer or by divine agents such as Sraosha and Mithra, and will be overthrown or flee at the final renovation.
Aesimus
Aesimus is a mortal figure in Greek mythic genealogy, primarily attested as the father of Sinon, the Trojan-war deceiver. He appears only in brief genealogical notices and a few poetic fragments; no independent myths, cult, or supernatural powers are recorded for him in the supplied sources.
