The sources do not provide a full origin myth for Ahkiyyini. They do record a biographical note: when alive he was said to have been always dancing and playing music. After death the figure is depicted as a skeletal spirit who continues those activities, using his arm bone as a drumstick and his scapula as a drum. Beyond this attested detail, the available entries give no narrative of his life, death, or the circumstances creating his continued activity.
Attested descriptions identify Ahkiyyini as a skeleton spirit. Sources emphasize his use of skeletal elements as instruments in death — specifically that he would use his arm bone as a drumstick and his scapula as a drum — and one source labels him "the ghost of Alaska." No further physical detail is provided in the cited materials.
The cited accounts attribute to Ahkiyyini the ability to make the ground shake and to produce maritime disturbances: by moving his arms and by playing music and dancing (using bones as percussion), he is said to cause tidal waves and earthquakes and to make the ground shake so severely that boats could overturn. The sources present these effects as directly linked to his gestures and musical/dance actions.
Ahimelech
Ahimelech is a historical/biblical Israelite priest of Nob mentioned in the Hebrew Bible (primarily 1 Samuel). A descendant of Aaron through the line associated with Eli and Ithamar, he provides David with the showbread and is later accused of aiding David; Saul orders his death and that of the attending priests, an event carried out by Doeg the Edomite.
Ahinoam
Ahinoam (Hebrew: אֲחִינֹעַם, ăḥīnōʿam) is a personal name borne by one or possibly two women in the Hebrew Bible associated with the royal households of Saul and David. In the biblical narratives she appears as a wife and mother within the social world of ancient Israelite monarchy and is involved in episodes such as the Amalekite raid on Ziklag; scholars debate whether the references designate the same woman or distinct individuals from different narrative strands.
Ahiravan (Mahiravan)
Ahiravan (also Mahiravan) is a rakshasa-king of Patala in Ramayana-derived narratives who abducts Rama and Lakshmana to sacrifice them to a goddess. Presented as a brother or trusted ally of Ravana in eastern Ramayana recensions, he is defeated and beheaded by Hanuman with divine aid.
Ahithophel
Ahithophel (also Achitofel) is a human counselor in the Hebrew Bible famed for his wisdom. He served King David, later defected to Absalom during Absalom's rebellion, and after his advice was ignored he returned to Giloh and hanged himself.
Ahitophel
Ahitophel is a biblical-era human counselor to King David famed for exceptional wisdom in the Hebrew Bible and later rabbinic literature. In the biblical narrative he defects to Absalom during the prince's revolt and his counsel nearly topples David; rabbinic traditions further portray him as a gifted but morally compromised sage who misuses divinely granted knowledge.
Ahitub
Ahitub (Hebrew: אֲחִיטוּב ’Aḥiṭub/’Aḥiṭuv, 'my brother is goodness') is a name borne by one or more Israelite priests attested in biblical genealogies and later reference works. In the source tradition he functions as a member and ancestral node within the hereditary Aaronic/priests lists (connections variously include son of Phinehas, grandson of Eli, and ancestor of Zadok and of Ezra), and is treated as a human priestly figure rather than a supernatural being.
Ahmed al-Badawī
Ahmed al-Badawī (Aḥmad al-Badawī, al-Sayyid al-Badawī) was a 13th-century Arab Sufi mystic and founder of the Badawiyyah order. Born in Fes to a Bedouin tribe and later settled in Tanta, Egypt, his tomb remains a major site of visitation and he is regarded as one of the most popular Sufi saints in Egypt (sources emphasize his historical sainthood and pilgrimage cult rather than detailed folkloric attributes).
Ahmose‑Nefertari
Ahmose‑Nefertari was an 18th‑Dynasty Egyptian queen who, after her death, received institutionalized cult worship and was venerated in the Theban necropolis and Deir el‑Medina. Sources present her both as a historically attested royal (great royal wife and king's mother) and as a deified figure given epithets such as 'Goddess of Resurrection', 'Mistress of the Sky', and 'Lady of the West'.
Ahoshta
Ahoshta is a fictional Calormene nobleman in C. S. Lewis's The Horse and His Boy storyline, chiefly known as the intended husband of Aravis and as a named figure mentioned in Calormene court discussions. He is portrayed as a mortal member of Calormene aristocracy rather than a supernatural being.
Ahriman (Angra Mainyu)
Angra Mainyu (Middle Persian Ahriman) is the hypostasis or personification of destructive, deceitful, and disordering mentality in Zoroastrian tradition. In the earliest (Gathic) layer it is presented as a choiceful destructive mainyu opposed to the constructive Spenta Mainyu; in later Pahlavi exegesis it becomes a personified cosmic antagonist who nevertheless is described as ontologically deficient and non-divine.
Ahti (Ahto)
Ahti (also Ahto) is a Finnish water haltija — a named supernatural proprietor of the sea and aquatic resources who appears in Kalevala-derived epic material, regional runic fishing songs, and healing spells. He functions as a sea-king/sea-god figure, provider of fish and other water-given wealth, and a ritual addressee in practical subsistence and healing contexts.
Ahtola (Kalevala) (tradition)
In the supplied sources, no supernatural entity named "Ahtola" is attested in the Kalevala or other Finnish mythic texts. The name Ahtola appears in the source set only as a modern Finnish surname and a place-name; the closely related mythic figure attested in the material is Ahti/Ahto, a Finnish water god associated with the sea.
