Hipponous

Hipponous (Ancient Greek: Ἱππόνοος) is an anthroponym attested in Greek mythic genealogies and epic narrative for multiple distinct mortal figures (fathers, warriors, princes) rather than a single supernatural being. Attestations include an Olenian father of Capaneus and Periboea, a son of Priam in the Trojan roster, an Achaean warrior killed by Hector, a genealogical father of Polyphonte, a figure who obeyed an oracle of Apollo by self-immolation with his father, and the birth-name of the hero later known as Bellerophon.

Hippostratus

Hippostratus (Ancient Greek Ἱππόστρατος, Hippostratos/Hippostratus) was a historical Indo-Greek king who ruled parts of central and north-western Punjab and Pushkalavati in the late 1st century BC. Known from numismatic evidence, he bore the epithet Soter and in some issues Basileos Megas, resisted Indo-Scythian incursions under Azes I, and is regarded as the last western Indo-Greek king.

Hippothoe

Hippothoe (Ancient Greek: Ἱπποθόη, 'swift as a mare') is a name borne by multiple distinct female figures in Greek myth: a Nereid (sea‑nymph), a Danaid (Libyan princess), a granddaughter of Perseus abducted by Poseidon and mother of Taphius, a daughter of Pelias (Peliad), and an Amazon warrior who fought at Troy.

Hippothoon (Ancient Greek Ἱπποθόων, romanized Hippothóōn), also called Hippothous, is a mythic human-figure and ancestral hero of Eleusis in Attica.

Hippothous

Hippothous (Ancient Greek: Ἱππόθοος, romanized Hippóthoos, lit. 'swift-riding') is not a single supernatural being but a personal name borne by multiple mortal figures in Greek myth and literature, who appear as princes, warriors, hunters, and kings across traditions such as the Danaid cycle, the Calydonian boar hunt, the Trojan War, Arcadian and Athenian genealogies, and Hellenistic romance.

Hippotion

Hippotion is a scientific genus of sphinx or hawk moths (family Sphingidae) erected by Jacob Hübner in 1819. The genus groups several species of moths found across multiple regions and is treated in entomological, natural-history, and pest-management sources rather than folkloric tradition.

Hiraṇyagarbha

Hiraṇyagarbha (Sanskrit: हिरण्यगर्भ, 'golden womb') is a Vedic and later Hindu cosmological concept: a primordial golden seed or 'cosmic egg/womb' from which the manifested universe is said to originate. It is presented variously as an impersonal formative principle, the 'Soul of the Universe' in Upanishadic language, and in Purāṇic and exegetical contexts as the first-born or creator (identified with Prajāpati or Brahmā).

A household-associated small carnivore spirit from western Japan (Chūgoku region) that attaches to certain families, providing wealth in belief but causing illness, behavioral change, social stigma, and transmission across households.
