A central figure of a Lithuanian folktale in which a speaking serpentine ruler—called the grass-snake/serpent prince Žilvinas—marries the human maiden Eglė, keeps an underwater palace and household, can be summoned by a secret chant, and whose story culminates in human→tree metamorphoses after betrayal.

Egregore

A polyvalent Western‑esoteric concept naming an emergent, non‑physical collective form produced by sustained coordinated thought, will, ritual, or activity of a group. Usage ranges from a descriptive term for a 'collective mind' to a belief in a semi‑autonomous spiritual entity nourished by group devotion, and in contemporary discourse is often used metaphorically for organized online or political phenomena.

Egremus

Egremus is a named mortal figure in Greek myth attested only as a combatant who fell in the war between Eumolpus and Eleusis. He is identified by the patronymic 'son of Eurynomus' and appears only in genealogical/war-list context in the cited source.

Egungun (ancestral masquerade spirits)

Egungun refers both to Yoruba masked, costumed masquerades and to the collective force of departed ancestors who manifest through those masquerades.
