A narrative animal actor in a Graeco‑Roman origin myth: Hercules's dog bites a sea‑snail (porphúra/murex) on a Phoenician beach, staining its mouth purple and triggering the discovery/origin story for Tyrian purple. The episode is attested in literary tradition and represented in later art (notably Rubens).

Herja (Valkyrie)
In Norse mythology, Herja is a valkyrie who chooses warriors for battle and takes them to Valhalla. As such, she holds divine authority over the battlefield.

Hermes
Hermes is an Olympian god in ancient Greek religion who functions as the herald of the gods, an intermediary between mortal and divine realms, and a psychopomp guiding souls to the afterlife. He is associated with travel, boundaries, commerce, thieves, oratory, and liminality; in Hellenistic contexts he is syncretized with Egyptian Thoth as Hermes Trismegistus.
Herne the Hunter
Herne the Hunter is a place-bound ghost of English folklore associated with Windsor Forest and the Great Park in Berkshire, tied to a specific oak known as Herne's Oak. Sources describe him as a horned, mounted spectral figure who rattles chains, torments cattle, and blasts or withers trees; many later details derive from 19th–20th century literary elaboration.
Herobrine
A modern internet-born urban legend and creepypasta from the Minecraft community: an uncanny, player-like presence (a Steve-like avatar with solid white eyes) alleged to appear in single-player worlds and to alter the environment. Herobrine is a community-created motif used in stories, videos, and mods rather than an official game entity.
Herodias (tradition)
A medieval European folkloric persona derived from the historical Herodian princess Herodias; in later popular summaries her name was repurposed as that of a leader or exemplar of nocturnal spirit-assemblies and night-rides. Sources link the name in medieval belief to figures who preside over witch-processions, while a modern secondary retelling describes her as a spirit condemned to wander the sky and 'permitted only to rest in treetops.'
Heroes United

Most prominently it denotes a short series of Marvel Animation direct-to-video/streaming feature animations pairing established superheroes, and a Cartoon Network crossover special between Ben 10 and Generator Rex.

Herrauðr
Herrauðr is a legendary medieval Scandinavian noble — variously an earl of Götaland or a king of Sweden — best known as the father of Þóra Borgarhjǫrtr whose possession of a lindworm prompts heroic action by Ragnar Lodbrok. He appears across fornaldarsögur, the Tale of Ragnar's Sons, Gesta Danorum and related texts as a dynastic/royal figure rather than a supernatural being.
Hersilia
In Roman foundational tradition, Hersilia is a legendary woman who mediates between Romans and the abducted Sabine families during the early history of Rome; in some literary accounts she is later said to have been apotheosized and identified as Hora Quirini, linking her to the cultic sphere of Romulus/Quirinus.
