Absent. The corpus contains no mythological origin for a supernatural entity called 'Hippo.' Sources treat the word as a zoological common name derived from Ancient Greek (ἱπποπόταμος, 'river horse'), and as an ancient toponym applied to cities (Hippo Regius / Hippo Diarrhytus) whose deeper linguistic origins are not provided in the excerpts. The use as an epithet (e.g., 'of Hippo') denotes place of origin or episcopal see.
As an animal, 'hippo' is an abbreviation of 'hippopotamus,' described in the sources as a large semiaquatic mammal native to sub-Saharan Africa and one of two extant species in the family Hippopotamidae. The place-name and epithet have no physical appearance.
No supernatural abilities are attributed to 'Hippo' in the provided sources. Biological descriptions note semiaquatic habits for the hippopotamus species, but the excerpts do not enumerate behavioral details beyond habitat and taxonomic standing. Place-name usages denote civic and ecclesiastical significance rather than agency.
Hineahuone
First woman created by Tāne from clay, becomes his partner and gives birth to Hinetītama. (Note: 1. The source material only describes Hineahuone as being "made" or "created", but does not explicitly state that she was crafted from clay from the earth, implying primordial power. 2. The descriptio)
Hippalcimus
Hippalcimus (Ancient Greek: Ἱππάλκιμον) is a mythological human figure from Greek tradition, attested in genealogical notices and in catalogues of the Argonauts. Sources record variant filiations and name-forms but do not attribute individual exploits or supernatural traits to him.
Hippalcus
Hippalcus (also attested as Hippalcmus) is a minor figure in Greek mythic genealogies recorded as a son of Pelops. Available sources preserve him only as a genealogical link within the Pelopid family and do not provide narratives, cultic associations, or supernatural attributes.
Hippasus (Ἵππασος)
Hippasus is primarily attested as a historical/legendary Pythagorean figure (c. 530–c. 450 BC) associated in later tradition with revealing mathematical discoveries (irrational numbers or geometric constructions) and a cluster of legendary punishments; the same Greek name also appears for several otherwise ordinary mythic characters (centaur, Trojan prince, Thessalian warrior, son of Ceyx) in epic catalogues.
Hippe
Hippe is a mythic woman in Greek tradition, described as a daughter of Chiron who possessed prophetic gifts and was transformed into a mare and placed among the stars as a constellation associated with the Horse (Pegasus/The Horse). Sources preserve variant names and narratives (Hippe/Melanippe/Euippe/Ocyrhoe) that converge on themes of prophetic speech, disclosure of forbidden divine knowledge, and metamorphosis as aetiology for a star‑figure.
Hippeia
Hippeia (Ἱππεία) is a Greek name applied both to a mortal woman in heroic genealogies and to a cultic epithet of the goddess Athena meaning 'of horses' or 'equestrian'. As an epithet (Hippeia Athena) the name marks Athena's association with horses and chariotry; as a proper name it appears in mythic genealogies (wife of Elatus).
Hippocoon
Hippocoon is a personal name in Greek myth borne by several distinct mortal figures — most prominently a Spartan king who usurped the throne from Tyndareus and was killed by Heracles, but also minor genealogical figures, a Thracian kinsman in Iliadic tradition, and an archer in Virgil's Aeneid. The name (Ancient Greek Ἱπποκόων) recurs across heroic, royal, and epic-competition narratives rather than designating a single supernatural entity.
Hippodamia (wife of Pirithous)
Hippodamia is a named mortal woman attested in modern mythographic listings as the wife of Pirithous within Greek heroic legend. The supplied sources list her among several mythic figures called Hippodamia but provide no independent narrative, description, or cultic material for this particular wife of Pirithous.
Hippodamia of Pisa
Hippodamia of Pisa is a mortal princess of Greek myth, daughter of King Oenomaus of Pisa and wife of Pelops. Her marriage by chariot-contest forms the pivot of the Pelops–Oenomaus cycle and makes her ancestress of the Atreid line (including Atreus and Thyestes); she is also associated in sources with cult-memory at Olympia/Pisa.
Hippolyta
Hippolyta is a figure of Greek myth traditionally described as queen of the Amazons, daughter of Ares and Otrera, and a participant in heroic-cycle narratives involving Heracles and Theseus. In classical sources she is a royal human/divine-adjacent personage associated with a distinctive war-belt (zoster); later literature and modern popular culture adapt her as a dramatic or superheroic figure.
Hippolyte (Hippolyta)
Hippolyte (also rendered Hippolyta) is an Amazonian queen in Greek mythology, described as a daughter of Ares and Otrera and sister of Antiope and Melanippe. She is best known as the holder of a notable martial girdle (zoster) that becomes the object of one of Heracles' labors and which figures in narratives involving Theseus.
Hippolytos (Hippolytus)
Hippolytos is a mythic human figure of Greek tragic tradition: the chaste prince and son of Theseus whose rejection of sexual passion and women provokes Phaedra's false accusation and divine retribution (notably Aphrodite's vengeance and Poseidon's punishment) as dramatized in Euripides' Hippolytus and represented in ancient art.
