No origin myth or narrative genealogy for Dzahui is provided in the supplied sources. What is recorded is his functional place within Mixtec religion: a rain god represented in Mixtec codices and invoked in ritual contexts connected to rainfall, agricultural outcomes, and catastrophic conditions such as drought and disease. The sources thus situate Dzahui as a named sacred agent visible in pictorial manuscript tradition and in ritual practice, but they do not preserve a creation or origin story for the deity.
In Mixtec codices Dzahui is shown with the blue or green 'rain-goggle' mask motif characteristic of Mesoamerican rain deities. The codical imagery as reported includes exposed incisor teeth and longer, somewhat curled jaguar-like canine teeth emerging from curled lips; occasionally a blue or green protrusion is depicted emerging from his nose. These elements are the specific visual features cited in the sources.
The sources identify Dzahui as the god of rain; his domain encompasses rainfall and the agricultural and communal outcomes dependent on it (harvest success or failure). He is associated in the sources with occasions of drought and with ritual responses to disease and harvest needs. The available references do not attribute additional powers, narratives of speech or negotiation, or other personal agency beyond his influence over rain and related exigencies.
Dymas
Dymas (Ancient Greek: Δύμας) is a personal name borne by multiple distinct mortal figures in ancient Greek epic and mythic traditions rather than a single supernatural being. Bearers of the name appear in narratives connected to the Argonautica, the Theban cycle, Dorian genealogies, Trojan War material, and the Odyssey; no consistent divine or liminal attributes are ascribed to them in the cited sources.
Dynamene
Dynamene (Ancient Greek: Δυναμένη) is one of the Nereids in Greek mythology, a daughter of the sea-god Nereus and the Oceanid Doris. Her name is a participle meaning glossed as both “the bringer” and more precisely “she who can, the capable one,” and she is associated with the might of great ocean swells and with the ability to appear and disappear rapidly. She appears in Homer’s Iliad as one of the Nereids who comes to Thetis in her grief for Achilles.
Dyosa
Dyosa is a 2008 Philippine televised fantasy drama whose protagonist Josephine is portrayed in-series as the Takda (Chosen One), a predestined female figure of divine/supernatural origin who must restore balance between rival immortal factions. Within the show's internal cosmology, the Dyosa manifests elemental powers and transforms into three elemental forms to harness those powers.
Dyspontos
Dyspontos (also attested in a cataloguing entry as Dysponteus) appears only in very limited genealogical material within Greek mythic traditions connected to the royal house of Pisa in the Peloponnesus. The surviving attestations treat the name as a minor mythic figure recorded in lineage lists with variant parentage rather than as a fully developed narrative character.
Dywel fab Erbin
Dywel fab Erbin is a minor heroic figure of medieval Welsh literary tradition: a son of Erbin, brother to Geraint and Ermid, and named among King Arthur's knights at Celliwig. He is attested in early Welsh poetry (the Black Book of Carmarthen and the Stanzas of the Graves) and in the Arthurian tale Culhwch ac Olwen, where his death in battle and the location of his grave at Caewaw/Caeo are recorded.
Dyēus
Dyēus (reconstructed *Dyēus, extended *Dyēus ph₂tḗr) is the Proto-Indo-European scholarly reconstruction of a daylight-sky personification and sky‑father. In comparative accounts it functions as the bright daytime sky, seat of the gods, and a sovereign ordering principle inferred from descendant traditions (e.g., Vedic Dyauṣ, Greek Zeus, Roman Jupiter).
Dzedka
Dzedka is a benevolent figure of Belarusian folklore associated with wealth and fortune. Described as an old man who walks roads and fields by day, he is said to cause a passerby to sleep and later find money, and to appear in dreams to advise wealthy but unhappy people.
Dziwożona
A malevolent supernatural entity associated with swamps in Slavic mythology. (Note: - The power tier should be Primordial because the Dziwożona is a powerful, malevolent entity associated with swamps and death. - The origin story summary should note that it's specifically female in S)
Dáin II Ironfoot
Dáin II Ironfoot is a named Dwarven king and military leader of the Iron Hills in J. R. R. Tolkien’s legendarium, presented in sources as a kinsman of Thorin Oakenshield who brings reinforcements to the Lonely Mountain and who is reported to have warned that Moria remained dangerous because of Durin's Bane.
Dáinn
Dáinn is a named figure in Old Norse poetic tradition variously listed among the dwarfs (dvergar) and invoked as an elven name in other contexts. Attested as an artisan-name in Hyndluljóð and as an onomastic/rune-related name in Hávamál, the name also appears attached to a legendary sword (Dáinsleif) and to a deer-shaped constellation in Norse stellar lore.
Dáire
Dáire is an Old Irish personal and ancestral name borne by multiple legendary figures in early Irish tradition; it functions as an eponymous ancestor and royal figure cluster associated with sovereignty, fertility/sexual potency, and martial/otherworldly associations rather than a single coherent supernatural being.
Déjanire
Déjanire is the mortal wife of Heracles (Hercule) in classical myth as retold in modern French theatrical and operatic adaptations. In the cited materials she functions as a dramatic character whose act of giving a tunic soaked in Nessus's blood—presented to her as magically restorative but actually poisonous—precipitates Hercule's agonized death and apotheosis.
