Ertnii Ezen ("Old Lord")

Minor SpiritfringeMongolian (poetic)Mongolia

Attested in a single poetic stanza in Mongolian, Ertnii Ezen (ertnii = ancient, ezen = lord) appears as an evocative epithet linking antiquity, patrimony, and nature. The source presents the phrase as poetic language within a stanza celebrating horses, hereditary value, and Mother Nature's ancient memory, not as a described supernatural being or detailed mythic figure.

Origin

None attested in the available source. The only evidence is a single poetic line; no mythic origin, genealogy, or narrative is provided.

Appearance

No physical appearance, iconography, or anthropomorphic traits are described in the source.

Abilities

No powers, behaviors, or interactions with humans are described. The phrase occurs in a stanza that thematically links it to valued horses, patrimony, and 'Mother Nature's ancient memory,' but those are poetic associations rather than explicit abilities.

Ermac

Ermac is a fictional character from the Mortal Kombat video game franchise, presented in‑universe as an amalgam of the souls of deceased warriors who serves as a supernatural combatant. The character originated from a developers' diagnostics label and fan rumor which the franchise later incorporated into official canon; Ermac is noted for a red ninja appearance and telekinetic powers.

Ermanaric

Ermanaric is a historically attested Greuthungian Gothic king of the fourth century who later becomes a central figure of Germanic heroic legend (Old English Eormenric, Old Norse Jǫrmunrekkr). Sources present him as a powerful, warlike ruler whose cruelty (notably the execution of Svanhild/Sunilda) provokes cycles of violent vengeance in later poetry and saga.

Ernmas

Ernmas is an ancestral maternal figure among the Tuatha Dé Danann recorded in medieval Irish sources. She is attested chiefly as the mother of two important triads (Ériu, Banba, Fódla and Badb, Macha, Mórrígan) and several sons, and is said in at least one source to have been killed during the first battle of Mag Tuired.

Erra

Erra (also Irra) is an Akkadian/Babylonian deity associated with mayhem, pestilence and episodes of political upheaval. Centerpiece of the first-millennium BCE Erra epic, he is attended by the advisor Išum and the destructive group called the Seven (Sibitti/Sebetti), and in tradition is sometimes assimilated to the god Nergal.

Erragal

Erragal (also Errakal, Errakalkal, Errakar, Erkal) is a Mesopotamian deity attested from the Isin‑Larsa through Neo‑Babylonian periods. He is polyvalent in function: identified with a star in the MUL.APIN tradition and invoked apotropaically in incantation series, associated in some texts with storm/destructive power and, in some contexts, linked to the underworld; scholarly opinion differs on whether he is distinct from, derived from, or an epithet of Erra.

Erriapus

Erriapus (Saturn XXVIII) is a mid-sized irregular prograde moon of Saturn, a member of the Gallic group of satellites. It is an astronomical object with measured orbital and physical properties and a name taken from a figure in Gaulish mythology; it is not treated as a living spirit in the provided sources.

Erudinus

Erudinus is a named local pagan god attested by a single Roman-period votive altar inscription found at Monte Dobra near Torrelavega in Cantabria. The altar, discovered in 1925, bears a dedicatory text placing an altar "DEO ERVDINO" and is dated by Roman calendrical and consular formulae (sources disagree whether the inscription was once thought to date to 399 AD but is now dated to 161). No myths, attributes, iconography, or ritual prescriptions for Erudinus survive beyond the inscription and its archaeological context.

Erulus

Erulus is a martial-royal figure attested only in Vergil's Aeneid (Evander's reminiscence). Described as king of Praeneste and unusually endowed at birth with three lives (animae) and three sets of arms by the goddess Feronia, he appears as a past opponent whom Evander recalls having slain by taking all three lives.

Erymanthian boar

A singular monstrous wild boar of Arcadian myth associated with Mount Erymanthos; a primeval, destructive animal subdued by Heracles during his Fourth Labour. The creature personifies dangerous wilderness tied to a sacred mountain landscape rather than a personal named monster.

Erymede

Erymede (Ancient Greek: Ἐρυμήδη, romanized Erymēdē) is a minor figure in Greek mythographic genealogies, recorded as daughter of Damasiclus (a son of Icarius) and as the mother of the eponym Taenarus by Elatus. She functions etiologically to link familial descent with the place-name Taenarus (Cape/Mount/City Taenarum) and has no attested cult, deeds, or supernatural attributes in the surviving sources.

Erysichthon of Thessaly

A legendary Thessalian king (or wealthy man in rationalizing accounts) whose sacrilege against a grove of Demeter results in a divine affliction of insatiable hunger. His tale functions as a moral exemplum about reverence for sacred land and the consequences of violating cult sanctuaries.

Erytheis (Erytheia)

Erytheis (also rendered Erytheia) is attested in modern summaries of Greek myth as one of the Hesperides, the nymphs who tend the garden containing Hera's trees that bear golden apples. She is presented only as a member of that collective role; the cited sources give no independent narratives, descriptions, or rituals specific to her.
