Anund (Bröt-Anund)

Anund, commonly known by the byname Bröt-Anund ('trail‑blazer' or 'land clearer'), is a semi-legendary Swedish king of the Yngling dynasty attested in early Norse genealogical poetry and saga prose. Sources credit him with avenging his father in Estonia, accumulating wealth, promoting settlement by clearing land and making roads, and dying under ambiguous circumstances (landslide or killing).

Anunnaki

A variable collective of major deities in ancient Sumerian, Akkadian, Assyrian and Babylonian religious literature, described as offspring or descendants linked to the sky god An (Anu) and an earth/mother figure (Ki/Ninhursag). Texts portray them as participants in the divine assembly, decreers of human fate, and in some traditions a group of seven underworld judges; their number, membership, and functions vary across sources.

Anunītu (Annunitum / Anunitu)

Anunītu (Annunitum / Anunitu) is a Mesopotamian goddess associated with warfare who began as an epithet of Ishtar of Akkad emphasizing a warlike aspect and by the late third millennium BCE came to be treated as a distinct tutelary deity, attested as patron of cities such as Akkad and Sippar-Amnanum and worshiped elsewhere in Mesopotamia.

Anuruddha

Anuruddha is presented in the supplied sources primarily as a personal name borne by two overlapping non‑supernatural figures: (1) Anuruddha the Theravādin elder — one of the Buddha’s eminent disciples appearing in suttas and Vinaya anecdotes; and (2) Anuruddha the ruler — a chronicle figure in Pali/Thai histories associated with the Dvaravati cultural sphere and Arimadhanaburi (Nakhon Pathom). The materials do not treat Anuruddha as a spirit or other supernatural creature.

Anuruddha (Aniruddha)

Anuruddha (Sanskrit: Aniruddha) is a historical disciple of the Buddha, counted among the ten principal disciples and later an arahant. He is repeatedly identified in the sources as foremost among monks possessing the meditative faculty called 'divine vision' (divyacakṣur) and figures prominently at the Buddha's parinirvāṇa and the First Buddhist Council.

Anush (Anush Uthra)

Anush, or Anush Uthra, is an uthra — a lightworld being in Mandaean religion — portrayed in Mandaean scriptures as a soteriological figure who taught John the Baptist and is said to have performed miracles in Jerusalem analogous to those ascribed to Jesus. He is frequently invoked in the Qolasta liturgical formula alongside Hibil and Šitil and is associated with the Mshunia Kushta, described as his shkina (dwelling).

Anvallus

Anvallus is a locally attested Gaulish deity known from two Roman‑period Latin votive altars and a Gaulish limestone cartouche found at Augustodunum (modern Autun). Evidence shows public votive practice (dedications 'in requital of vows'), priestly involvement (gutuatres), and material offerings including a Greek‑style bronze helmet; linguistic scholarship reconstructs the name as an-ualos, roughly 'without a sovereign' or 'inferior to none.'

Anya Corazón

Anya Corazón is a Marvel Comics superheroine (originally published as Araña) who was mortally wounded and saved when Spider Society mage Miguel Legar performed a ritual that gave her a spider-shaped tattoo, endowing her with spider-derived powers and marking her as a Hunter of the Spider Society. She balances teenage life in Brooklyn with duties fighting mystical and criminal threats within Marvel's shared-universe fiction.
