The consulted sources do not preserve a narrative cosmogonic origin for Anbay. Instead, surviving references present him functionally within the institutional religion of Qataban: as an attendant deity in the retinue of the moon god Amm and as a specialized divine official of justice and oracle. Evidence for this role appears in epigraphic and secondary summaries that show the name 𐩱𐩬𐩨𐩺 (romanized ʾnby) attested in contexts of legal invocation and royal regulation rather than in mythic birth-stories or creation tales (Wikipedia; Encyclo summaries).
No primary descriptions of Anbay's physical appearance or iconography are recorded in the cited summaries. The available sources—encyclopedic entries and brief scholarly overviews—do not supply anthropomorphic descriptions, attributes, or known temple imagery for Anbay, so any reconstruction of his visual representation is not attested in the provided material (Wikipedia; Encyclo).
Sources characterize Anbay as a deity of justice and an oracle whose name was invoked in a range of legal matters. Attestations indicate use of his name as a divine guarantor or witness in formal transactions (for example, filing paperwork for legal title to buildings) and in the royal regulation of communal resources such as water supplies. He is described as providing oracular pronouncements or authoritative guidance in disputes, and he is frequently mentioned together with Haukim, another Qatabanian justice deity. He is also described as "in attendance to" the moon deity Amm, indicating a subordinate, service-oriented role within the local divine hierarchy (Wikipedia; Haukim entry; Encyclo).

Anaxarete
Anaxarete is a mythic mortal woman in Greco-Roman tradition who, according to Ovid's Metamorphoses, scorned a suitor named Iphis and was transformed by Aphrodite into a stone statue preserved at Salamis. Her story is cited as an exemplum of divine punishment for cruel disregard of love and belongs to the broader corpus of metamorphosis myths.
Anaxibia
Anaxibia (Ancient Greek: Ἀναξίβια) is a personal name used for multiple distinct figures in Classical Greek mythic genealogies — chiefly mortal women who serve as wives and mothers in heroic-age lineages, and in one attestation a naiad associated with a river. The name also appears in modern biological nomenclature as a reused classical label.
Anaxiroe
Anaxiroe is a named female figure in archaic Greek genealogical tradition associated with the ruling families of Elis. In the supplied sources she appears only in relational roles (daughter of Coronus; in some accounts the wife of Epeius) and carries no supernatural attributes, cult, or ritual functions.
Anaxo
Anaxo (Ancient Greek Ἀναξώ) is a proper name applied to mortal women in ancient Greek mythic genealogies and narratives. Attested figures named Anaxo appear as a Mycenaean princess—daughter of Alcaeus, wife of Electryon, and mother of Alcmene—and as a young woman from Troezen who was carried off by the hero Theseus. The name carries a lexical sense of female authority in Greek but denotes human participants in dynastic and abduction cycles rather than a supernatural class.
Anaye (Navajo tradition)
A 'race of monsters or evil gods' in Navajo mythology, killed by the hero Nayenezgani. (Note: - Power tier: Primordial (as they are described as "evil gods") - Appearance: Add that it's unclear and no physical description is provided - Abilities: Clarify that their powers were formidable enoug)
Anba George (Saint George of Assiut)
Anba George is a Coptic Orthodox bishop venerated as a saint and martyr in Coptic hagiographical and liturgical tradition. Associated with Assiut in Upper Egypt and the Monastery of St. George, his life is commemorated in Synaxarium-type records; hagiography recounts his leadership of communal fasting and prayer and his subsequent arrest and martyrdom in the 12th century.
Ancaeus (son of Poseidon)
Ancaeus is a mythic Greek heroic figure, typically described as king of Samos, an Argonaut and an especially skilled helmsman. Often presented as a son of Poseidon, he belongs to the generation of heroes who sailed with Jason in the quest for the Golden Fleece. In the tradition he is a mortal hero (semi-divine by parentage) rather than a deity or monster; he is also frequently confused with another Argonaut named Ancaeus (son of Lycurgus), both of whom share a motif of dying by a boar's tusk.
Ancalagon the Black
A singular, individuated dragon of J. R. R. Tolkien’s legendarium, bred by the Dark Power Morgoth as a wrought weapon of war. Described as the greatest of the dragons and the first of the winged dragons, Ancalagon appears at the end of the First Age in the War of Wrath where his aerial assault and catastrophic fall shape the close of that age.
Ancamna
Ancamna is a Gallo‑Roman local goddess attested in the Moselle valley and commemorated as the consort of regional forms of Mars (notably Lenus Mars and Mars Smertulitanus). She appears in civic cult contexts at Trier, Ripsdorf and Möhn where altars and votive offerings link her to tribal protection and to the genii of Treveri pagi; some scholars suggest a possible association with a spring rather than a martial character.
Ancasta
Ancasta is a locally attested Celtic goddess known from a single Roman-period votive inscription from Clausentum (modern Bitterne, near Southampton). She appears as a named deity venerated in the context of a fulfilled vow; little else about her cult, appearance, or powers is recorded in the surviving sources.
Ancestors of Enlil (Enki-Ninki deities)
A sequence of Sumerian divine pairs (en-/nin- names) conceived as the primordial ancestors culminating in Enlil; chiefly attested in god lists and invoked as authoritative primordial names in ritual, especially in incantations and exorcisms.
Ancestral Spirit or Tutelary Deity
In Hawaiian tradition, an 'aumakua is a tutelary deity or ancestral spirit that watches over and protects specific families or individuals. (Note: - Power tier: Primordial does not match the abilities described (watching over families/individuals, associated with natural phenomena), which suggests a Greater or Lesser power tier would be more pla)
