Origin

The sources show multiple independent origins for uses of 'Atlantia.' A classical attestation appears in name-lists as 'Atlanteia or Atlantia,' described in a disambiguation note as a Hamadryad nymph who consorted with Danaus (Wikipedia disambiguation). In modern usage the name is repurposed: Ally Condie's novel uses Atlantia as the underwater city setting of the story told by the protagonist Rio (Atlantia (novel) page); Battlestar media sources apply Atlantia as the name of one or more battlestars (Battlestar Wiki clones); organizations and groups (Kingdom of Atlantia in the Society for Creative Anachronism, Legio XXIV Media Atlantia for Nova Roma) adopt the name as a regional or unit designation (SCA pages, Nova Roma page); and Wikidata lists Atlantia as a genus of cnidarian (Wikidata entry). The provided materials do not trace these usages to a single traditional origin or a continuous mythic figure.

Appearance

No single, consistent physical description is attested for an entity named 'Atlantia' in the provided sources. The classical form 'Atlanteia/Atlantia' is only recorded as a Hamadryad name without descriptive detail. In modern contexts 'Atlantia' denotes a place (the underwater city in the novel, with protagonist Rio described as 'from the underwater city of Atlantia' but without city visuals in the provided excerpt), vessels in science-fiction (battlestars named Atlantia), organizational regions (SCA kingdom insignia and awards pages reference the polity name), and a biological genus entry (Wikidata lists Atlantia as a cnidarian genus but the sources give no species morphology).

Abilities

The cited sources do not ascribe supernatural powers, behaviors, or consistent agency to an 'Atlantia' entity. The only mythic attestation is a name-form categorized as a Hamadryad in a disambiguation note, which by typology places it among tree-nymph name-lists in Greek myth, but the provided materials do not supply any attributes, deeds, or powers specific to Atlanteia/Atlantia. Modern fictional and organizational uses function as place- or unit-names rather than descriptions of supernatural capabilities.

Further in the Grimoire

Dione

Dione is primarily a proper name attested in ancient Greek myth (Διώνη, 'she who is under the authority of Zeus') borne by multiple mythological women, and is also used in modern taxonomy and astronomy (notably a moon of Saturn). The supplied sources do not present Dione as a single, consistent folkloric supernatural being with rituals or warding traditions.

Iry (as-attested-uses)

No coherent folkloric or mythological entity called 'Iry' is attested in the supplied sources. The string 'Iry' appears only as an element of personal names, modern nicknames/handles, a taxonomic component, and as an administrative label in archival materials.

Lysithea

Lysithea is a name applied to multiple unrelated referents in classical myth, modern astronomy, biological taxonomy, and contemporary fiction. In Greek mythic genealogies she appears as a daughter of Oceanus and is listed among lovers of Zeus; separately, Lysithea is the name of an irregular satellite of Jupiter, a genus of red algae, and a modern fictional character in the video game Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

Tenaga

Attested in the supplied sources as (1) a zoological genus of moths in the family Tineidae and (2) an Indonesian/Malay common noun meaning force/energy/labor/personnel; the provided materials contain no evidence of a folkloric or supernatural being named Tenaga.

Atikāya

Atikāya is a colossal rakṣasa prince in the Ramayana (Yuddha Kāṇḍa), son of Rāvaṇa and Dhanyamalinī, who fights in the Lanka war and is slain by Lakṣmaṇa after being struck with a Brahmāstra. Later retellings attribute to him an episode in which he catches Śiva's trident and is taught archery.

Atira asteroid

Atira asteroids are a scarce dynamical class of near‑Earth small bodies whose orbits lie entirely interior to Earth's orbit (aphelion < Earth's perihelion, 0.983 AU). Named after the archetype 163693 Atira, the class is observationally challenging because members appear close to the Sun on the sky and are typically detectable only in twilight or by space‑based surveys. Their significance is primarily taxonomic and operational within planetary science — affecting survey strategy, orbital tracking, and study of dynamical evolution among NEOs.

Atlanna

Atlanna is a fictional character presented as the queen of Atlantis and the mother of Arthur Curry (Aquaman) within modern DC film materials. She appears in promotional and summary descriptions of the Aquaman film and is listed among the film's cast credits.

Atlanteia

Atlanteia (Ancient Greek: Ἀτλαντεία) is attested in Greek mythic genealogies as a Libyan hamadryad — a tree-nymph — named among the wives/concubines of King Danaus and jointly listed with Phoebe as mother-figures of ten of the Danaïdes. Beyond these genealogical listings, no independent narratives, descriptive accounts, or ritual instructions specific to Atlanteia are provided in the sampled sources.

Atlantica

Atlantica is a scientific reconstruction of an ancient Proterozoic continental landmass that formed about 2.0 billion years ago from cratons now in West Africa and eastern South America; the name is also attested as a biological genus label and as a modern musical track title in the provided sources. The supplied materials contain no treatment of Atlantica as a supernatural or folkloric being.

Atlantid

A non‑folkloric label used in multiple modern contexts: an obsolete anthropological racial subtype (North‑Atlantid/Paleo Atlantid), a speculative/alternate‑history ethnonym, and a contemporary brand/name in projects, fiction, and scientific terminology. No traditional supernatural being called 'Atlantid' is attested in the supplied sources.

Atlas

Atlas is a Titan of ancient Greek myth condemned after the Titanomachy to stand at the western edge of the world and hold up the sky on his shoulders. He is both a punished cosmic agent who bears the heavens and an eponymous figure linked to geographic features (the Atlas Mountains) and to traditions of celestial knowledge such as the invention of the celestial sphere.

Atlasodon

No folkloric or supernatural tradition for an entity named "Atlasodon" is present in the supplied sources. The materials provided are scientific and taxonomic references relating to extinct mammals and higher-level mammalian groups; they do not describe a mythic being, its appearance, powers, rituals, or cultural role.
