The provided sources do not preserve a mythic birth or narrative origin for Arinniti. Rather, her status and role derive from Hittite state cult practice: she is attested as the primary solar goddess whose cult centered on the sacred city of Arinna and who functioned as the kingdom's tutelary and sovereign deity. Titles and cult placement — notably the epithet "Queen of all lands" and her designation as protector of the Hittite realm — indicate that her identity emerges from institutionalized worship and political-religious ideology recorded in Hittite sources summarized in modern reference works.
The consulted summaries and entries provide no reliable iconographic or physical description of Arinniti. In the available material she is identified and discussed primarily by title and cult function (Sun goddess of Arinna, chief goddess, protector of the kingdom) rather than by a consistent visual depiction; the sources therefore treat her as a titular and cultic presence centered on Arinna rather than as an entity with a detailed surviving pictorial type.
Sources attribute to Arinniti the protective guardianship of the Hittite kingdom and sovereign status among the deities — she is explicitly described as protecting the Hittite state and called the "Queen of all lands." She is also cultically paired with the weather god Tarḫunna (sources vary in phrasing, calling him either her companion or husband), indicating a close cooperative role within the Hittite divine hierarchy. No specific miracle-working powers, magical formulae, or detailed functional acts are given in the provided summaries.

Aruna
Aruna is the Hittite term for the sea that functions both as a non-personified sacred presence (numen) and, in some texts, as a personified sea-deity. Attestations are regionally concentrated in southeastern Anatolia and Aruna appears in ritual, legal, and mythological contexts (notably the Telipinu composition CTH 322).
Miyatanzipa
Miyatanzipa is a named deity attested in the Hittite religious corpus (Anatolia, c. 1600–1180 BCE). The deity appears in divine-name lists and in mythic fragments as one of the gods who sat under a hawthorn (ippiyas/Thippiyas) tree awaiting the return of Telipinu and is invoked in short ritual formulae.
Aribeth de Tylmarande
Aribeth de Tylmarande (commonly Aribeth or Lady Aribeth) is a fictional human paladin of Tyr in the Forgotten Realms setting, portrayed as a high-ranking civic and religious officer in the city-state of Neverwinter whose grief and crisis of faith lead her from defender and ally to an antagonist in the Neverwinter Nights narrative.
Ariel
Ariel is named in the provided materials as an angel appearing primarily in Jewish and Christian mysticism and apocrypha. The supplied sources give the Hebrew form אֲרִיאֵל (romanized ʾÁrīʾēl) and identify Ariel as an angelic figure but do not provide further doctrinal, narrative, or ritual detail.
Arihant
In Jain doctrine an arihant is a soul (jiva) that has conquered inner passions and destroyed the four inimical (ghātiyā) karmas, thereby attaining kevala jñāna (omniscience) while still embodied; on final shedding of remaining karma an arihant attains siddhahood (moksha).
Arikura-no-baba

Arimanius
Arimanius is a Greco-Roman rendering of the Iranian adversary Ahriman attested in classical literature (notably Plutarch) as the dark opposing principle to Oromazes/Ahura Mazda, and as a deity-name found on several Roman Mithraic dedications. Literary and inscriptional uses differ: Plutarch presents a morally malign, cosmological figure associated with pestilence and darkness, while Mithraic inscriptions invoke the name in dedicatory contexts with ambiguous or reinterpreted valence.
Arioch
Arioch (Hebrew: אַרְיוֹךְ, ’Aryōḵ) is a personal name recorded in Genesis 14 as the "king of Ellasar" who took part in a coalition of kings at the Battle of Siddim. In later literary, occult, and popular-fantasy traditions the name is reused for various infernal or chaotic personae (e.g., listed in grimoires as a demon, named among fallen angels in Milton, a lord of Chaos in Michael Moorcock, and a duke of Hell in Greyhawk lore).
Arion
Arion (Ancient Greek: Ἀρίων) is a legendary/kitharode musician in Greek mythic-poetic tradition, famed for exceptional skill on the kithara and for a narrative in which his singing summons dolphins that rescue him from shipboard treachery; the episode ends in cultic commemoration and aetiology linking the dolphin to the constellation Delphinus.

Aristaeus
Aristaeus (Ancient Greek: Ἀρισταῖος) is a mythic culture-hero and minor godlike figure in Greek tradition, honored as the patron and transmitter of rural arts (notably beekeeping, dairying, olive cultivation, and viticulture). He functions as a liminal figure between mortal heroes and divinities, appearing in local cults across the Greek world and in literary narratives that explain the origin and restoration of pastoral practices.
