Gilgamesh
Gilgamesh is a semi-divine legendary king of the Sumerian city of Uruk who features as the protagonist of a pan‑Mesopotamian epic tradition. Portrayed in literary sources as a demigod of superhuman strength, he is both a historical monarch recorded in king lists and a later object of cultic veneration.
Gingerbread Man
A cultural motif that exists both as a human‑shaped gingerbread biscuit and as an anthropomorphic figure in European fairy‑tale and modern media: in tales a baked gingerbread cookie 'comes to life', speaks, runs from pursuers, and in the canonical story is ultimately eaten by a fox. The figure functions as a seasonal culinary object and as a narrative character rather than a systematic spirit-type in traditional cosmologies.
Ginnungagap
In Old Norse myth, Ginnungagap is the primordial void or gaping chasm that existed before creation; positioned between the cold north (Niflheim) and the fiery south (Múspellheim), it is the liminal space where ice and sparks met and from which the primordial beings and the ordered world emerged.
Girra (Gibil)
Girra (Sumerian Gibil) is the Mesopotamian god/personification of fire, attested in offering lists and temple contexts from the Early Dynastic period through the Kassite period and later Assyrian and Uruk sources. He embodies both the purificatory and destructive aspects of fire and functions within temple ritual and purification practice; his emblem is a torch.
Girtablilu (Scorpion-man)
A hybrid human–scorpion figure attested in Akkadian-language mythic texts; the supplied source states that scorpion-men feature in several ancient Mesopotamian myths, including the Enûma Elish and the Standard Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh.
Girtablullu
Girtablullu is an Akkadian-era hybrid monster described in secondary sources as a 'scorpion-man' (human head and arms with a scorpion body). It is attested in modern summaries of Mesopotamian mythic lists and is noted in secondary material as both one of the hybrid monstrous personages in Akkadian literature and as an apotropaic creature associated with the sun/justice god Utu/Shamash.
Giselher of Burgundy
Giselher of Burgundy (also Gislaharius) is a historical and literary Burgundian prince attested in early medieval genealogies and as a character in the Middle High German epic the Nibelungenlied. He is presented as a son of King Gebicca and brother to Gundomar/Gernot and Gundaharius/Gunther; in the Nibelungenlied he is betrothed to Dietlind of Bechelaren. Historical sources place him among Burgundian rulers of the 410s and note that he died before 436.
Gishiki Hachimen Daiō (unattested name)
The name 'Gishiki Hachimen Daiō' is not attested in the provided sources as a discrete folkloric entity. The supplied materials instead document the kijo Momiji (紅葉, 'Maple Leaves') from Nagano legends and the toponymic element Daiō (大王, 'great king') appearing in modern place-names such as Daio Wasabi Farm; no source links these into a single named being called Gishiki Hachimen Daiō.
Gitche Manitou
A term from Algonquian-language traditions referring to the 'Great Spirit' or supreme spiritual principle; used both for a highest or collective spiritual force that underlies many individual spirits (manitous) and as a name applied to a creator or giver of life in Anishinaabe contexts.
Giv (Gev)
Giv (Persian: گیو), also rendered Gev, is a legendary Iranian knight and one of the main human heroes in the New Persian epic Shahnameh. He is presented as a noble paladin of the House of Goudarz, father of Bizhan, brother of Roham, and a loyal companion of kings such as Key Khosrow.
Gjenganger
A Scandinavian revenant — a deceased person who 'goes again' and returns to the realm of the living. Historically depicted as a corporeal, often violent returning dead in saga material and later as a more ghost‑like or disease‑associated presence in post‑medieval folklore.
Gladiator (Kallark)
A historical social role in Roman civic and funerary ritual: armed combatants (Latin: gladiatores) who fought in public spectacles (munera) for commemorative, political, and entertainment purposes. The available sources treat gladiators as human performers and social actors rather than supernatural beings.
