In the Enochic tradition (1 Enoch as reported in secondary summary sources), Daniel is listed among the cadre of 200 angels whose leadership is organized into 20 chiefs; specifically he is named as the seventh of the 20 Watcher leaders and is credited with teaching humans the 'signs of the sun'. Separately, in later Western occult literature (as reported from Francis Barrett's The Magus), the name Daniel is reused as one of the 72 holy angels associated with the Shemhamphorae — a cataloguing of angelic names tied to divine names used in ceremonial magic. Both attestations are textual and reflect reuse of an angelic name across distinct literary and magical corpora.
No physical description of Daniel appears in the cited Enochic listing or in the Barrett summary excerpt; the supplied sources do not provide anthropomorphic or symbolic attributes for this angel.
In the Enochic context Daniel is credited specifically with teaching humans the 'signs of the sun', indicating a role as transmitter of solar/celestial knowledge (astronomical or astrological signs). The Barrett citation lists Daniel among the 72 Shemhamphorae angels but, in the provided excerpt, does not ascribe particular powers or functions to him beyond inclusion in that angelic roster.
Ramiel
Ramiel (Raʿamʾēl) is named in the Enochic Book of the Watchers as one of the chiefs among the fallen angels who descended in the antediluvian age, took human wives, and became part of the corrupt company responsible for the Nephilim. The name is a Semitic theophoric compound commonly glossed as “God has thundered.” Later traditions sometimes conflate Ramiel with similarly named holy angels (Remiel/Jeremiel), but in the Book of Enoch Ramiel is listed among the condemned Watchers.
Chazaqiel
Chazaqiel is named in modern summaries of the Book of Enoch tradition as one of the leaders among the two hundred Watchers who 'fell'; he is repeatedly glossed in the supplied sources as the teacher of knowledge about clouds or meteorology and is etymologically linked to clouds or sky phenomena.
Danaus
Danaus is a mythic founding-king figure in ancient Greek tradition, remembered as the eponymous ancestor of the Danaids and as a culture-hero whose migration from Egypt/Libya to Argos explains local institutions, place-names, and cultic associations in archaic and classical lore.
Danava
In Hindu tradition the danavas are a legendary race of asuras, descended from the sage Kashyapa and his wife Danu. Presented variously across Vedic, epic, and Puranic sources, they are frequently cast as kinsmen and antagonists of the devas, with portrayals ranging from ambivalent actors in early Vedic material to oppositional forces in later literature.
Danaë
Danaë is an Argive princess of Greek myth, daughter of King Acrisius, who becomes the mother of the hero Perseus after Zeus visits her in the form of 'golden rain'. Her narrative illustrates oracle-driven fate, exposure and survival motifs, and later founding traditions linking Greek heroic genealogies to Italic locales.
Danaïdes
In ancient Greek myth the Danaïdes are the fifty daughters of Danaus, king of Libya, who—at their father's command—all but one killed their husbands on their wedding night and were punished in the underworld with the eternal, futile labor of carrying water in sieves or perforated vessels. They function as a collective genealogical and moral exemplar in Argive tradition and appear in various literary, cultic, and artistic contexts.
Dandan (dendan)
A monstrous, enormous sea-fish from the One Thousand and One Nights tale "Abdullah the Fisherman and Abdullah the Merman," presented as the largest and most fell of sea creatures; its liver-fat is said to serve as an ointment enabling humans to survive underwater, while paradoxically the creature is described as vulnerable to certain human-related conditions.
Dando's Dogs
Dando's Dogs are an English folkloric pack of spectral hounds tied to the tale of a sinful huntsman named Dando. They are classed among English 'black dog' apparitions and described as taking part in the Wild Hunt; tradition reports their sounds on early Sunday mornings as they pursue game or search for their master after his abduction.
Dantalion
Dantalion is a named spirit appearing in grimoire-derived occult tradition (the Ars Goetia corpus), described in modern occult encyclopedias as a high-ranking Duke who commands legions and is reputed to teach arts and sciences and to know and influence human thoughts.
Dante (Devil May Cry)
Dante is the fictional protagonist of Capcom's Devil May Cry video game franchise and related media. Portrayed as a stylish demon-hunting action hero, he appears across multiple game installments (including a prequel depicting a younger Dante) and in animated/adapted works.
Dante's Satan
In Dante Alighieri's Inferno (Canto XXXIV) Satan is the immobilized, diminished former angel who occupies the lowest point of Hell (the Ninth Circle, Judecca). He is the poetic embodiment of pride and the ultimate traitor, frozen in the central ice while eternally chewing the three chief traitors.
Danu
Danu is a reconstructed Irish mother goddess name associated with the Tuatha Dé Danann — the name Tuatha Dé Danann is glossed as 'the peoples of the goddess Danu'. The name is also linked in comparative material to a pan‑Indo‑European river/goddess motif and to cognate deities in other traditions, though primary medieval Irish texts do not preserve a detailed mythology or iconography for her.
Danuvius
Danuvius is a Latin toponym that appears in two distinct referents in the supplied sources: (1) a Latin name for the Danube and an ancient Roman river-deitypersonification; and (2) a modern paleontological genus name, Danuvius guggenmosi, applied to an ~11.6-million-year-old fossil ape discovered in southern Germany. The sources treat these as separate uses of the same Latin/place-rooted name rather than a single folkloric being.
Danzaburou-danuki
Danzaburou-danuki is a localized Sado Island manifestation of the bake-danuki: a shapeshifting tanuki spirit famed in Aikawa and surrounding locales for illusions, trickery, occasional benefaction, and a folkloric status as leader of the island's tanuki who was said to have been deified locally as Futatsuiwa Daimyoujin.
