Cunomaglus is not an independent mythic origin figure in the supplied sources but an epithet applied to Apollo in a local Romano‑British cult. The name is epigraphically attested on a votive inscription found at the temple complex at Nettleton Shrub; the published inscription reads: “deo Apol|lini Cuno|maglo Co|rotica Iu|ti fil(ia) v(otum) s(olvit) l(ibens) m(erito).” The temple dedicated to Apollo Cunomaglus appears shortly after 69 AD and subsequently developed into a major cult centre with a large shrine, hall, hostel, shops and a priest's house, indicating an organized local worship tradition and pilgrimage or regular visitation to the sanctuary.
The sources supply no distinct iconography or physical description unique to Cunomaglus. As an epithet of Apollo, any depiction at the site would likely follow Romano‑British representations of Apollo, potentially modified by local Celtic motifs; however, the supplied material explicitly records no local iconographic details for Cunomaglus. Therefore descriptions of appearance remain speculative beyond the attested association with Apollo.
The evidence in the sources frames Cunomaglus in terms of functional associations rather than enumerated supernatural feats. The co‑worship of Diana and Silvanus at Nettleton suggests a hunting aspect to the epithet, and broader patterns of Apollo's role in Celtic contexts emphasise healing. Archaeological factors noted — the sanctuary's proximity to water and finds such as tweezers and pins — have been cited as indicating the possibility that the site functioned in part as a healing or curative sanctuary. The sources present these roles as interpretive suggestions based on cult context and material remains rather than as explicit statements of miraculous acts.
Abandinus
Abandinus is a locally attested Romano‑Celtic theonym known from a single inscribed bronze feather (votive object) dedicated at Godmanchester (the Roman fort Durovigutum) in Cambridgeshire. Scholars interpret him as a local god or male spirit tied to a specific place and possibly associated with a nearby spring or stream; this association is tentative and based on etymological readings of the name.
Anextiomarus
Anextiomarus (Gaulish Anextlomāros; feminine Anextlomara) is an ancient Celtic theonym or epithet attested in Romano-British and Gallo-Roman inscriptions. In the sources it functions as an epithet of a solar deity syncretized with the Roman god Apollo and is glossed in one source as meaning roughly "Great Protection," indicating a protective, beneficent cult function in votive contexts.
Anextlomarus
Anextlomarus (also Anextiomarus; feminine Anextlomara) is a Romano-Celtic theonym attested in inscriptions from Roman Britain and Gaul. The name, interpreted as 'Great Protector', appears in dedicatory contexts and in one instance is equated with the Roman god Apollo, indicating a locally venerated protective deity integrated into Roman civic-religious practice.
Belenus
Belenus (Gaulish Belenos/Belinos; Latin Belenus/Belinus) is an ancient Celtic healing and protective deity whose cult was widespread across Celtic-speaking regions and whose worship continued into the Roman period, often equated with Apollo; he is especially associated with medicinal springs and civic protection (notably Aquileia).
Saturn
Saturn appears in the supplied sources in two registers: as the sixth planet of the Solar System described by modern astronomy, and as a named god in ancient Roman religion. The astronomical account provides detailed physical and orbital properties; the mythological account in the provided material is limited to the single-line classification of Saturn as a god in ancient Roman mythology and the note that the planet is named after that figure.
Culhwch
Culhwch is a mortal heroic figure of medieval Welsh narrative tradition, protagonist of the tale Culhwch and Olwen. A noble-born youth and cousin of Arthur, his story centres on a quest to win Olwen by completing a series of impossible tasks (anoethau) with the aid of Arthur and his warriors.
Culsu
Culsu is an attested name listed among Etruscan deities and legendary figures in modern compilations. Available sources provide only nominal attestation (the name and a modern label of 'goddess'); no independent ancient narratives, functions, iconography, or rituals are recorded in the supplied materials.
Cult of Dionysus
A cult associated with the Greek god Dionysus, patron deity of wine, fertility, theater, and ecstasy. (Note: 1. Factual claim: The article states that Dionysus's original name 'Dionysus' (Διόνυσος) is derived from Linear B tablets as 𐀇𐀺𐀝𐀰 (di-wo-nu-so). However, the source material does not support this )
Cunizza da Romano
Cunizza da Romano (c.1198–1279) is a historical Italian noblewoman of the da Romano family who appears as a named soul in Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy (Paradiso Canto IX), located among the blessed of the heaven of Venus and presented as an exemplum of lives shaped by love.
Cupid
Cupid (Latin: Cupīdō or Amor) is the Roman god of desire, erotic love, attraction, and affection, depicted in classical and later Western art and literature as a youthful, often winged figure whose arrows inspire love or aversion.
Curetes
The Curetes (Greek Κουρῆτες, Kouretes) are a named group of ritual attendants or minor divine retainers associated with Aegean and Anatolian mother-goddess cults—primarily Rhea and Cybele. They are attested in ancient sources and modern reference works as dancing servants or ritual personnel whose name also survives in urban toponymy (e.g., Kouretes/Curetes Street at Ephesos).
Curupira
A Tupi–Guarani–area forest spirit who protects woods and wildlife by misleading, punishing, or rewarding humans according to their behavior; widely attested across Brazil and neighboring regions with many regional variants.
