The sources identify Titania primarily as the name used by William Shakespeare in his play A Midsummer Night's Dream for the Queen of the Fairies; the provided materials do not record a separate traditional mythic origin or indigenous cosmology for the figure. Other occurrences of the name in astronomy, mineralogy, and modern fiction are homonymous uses listed in reference works and are not presented in the sources as a single continuous mythic origin.
In the supplied Shakespearean stage direction Titania is introduced arriving 'with hers,' i.e., accompanied by a train or retinue, which marks her as a courtly, sovereign presence onstage; no detailed physical description (costume, features, stature) is given in the excerpts. Modern poetic and fictional works cited use the name as a literary or character reference but do not supply a single consistent visual model in the provided materials.
Within the available excerpts, Titania's demonstrated role is as queen of a fairy court who appears with a retinue opposite Oberon, indicating a leading position among fairies in the play's dramatic world. The supplied sources do not enumerate magical powers, specific behaviors, or folkloric capabilities; later fictional adaptations reuse the name in various supernatural or comic contexts, but those portrayals are distinct and not consistently documented in the provided notes.
Tiphys
Tiphys (Greek: Τῖφυς) is the appointed helmsman of the Argo in the Argonautic tradition. Portrayed across ancient sources as a skilled, practical navigator whose reading of winds, waves, sun and stars is vital to the voyage, he is a mortal specialist whose death during the expedition requires a successor.
Tiresias
Tiresias is the canonical Theban seer of Greek myth: a human prophet granted divinatory gifts by the gods, famed for longevity, episodes of gender transformation, physical blindness paired with supernatural sight, and continued prophetic authority even after death.
Tirian
Tirian is a fictional human character in C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia, the last King of Narnia and the protagonist of The Last Battle. He is a mortal ruler and skilled swordsman who leads Narnia in its final conflict, witnesses the deception of a false Aslan, and ultimately enters Aslan's Country.
Tisamenus
Tisamenus is a name attested in classical Greek myth and history for multiple human figures (notably mythic kings of Argos and Thebes and an historical seer of Elis) and is also the modern scientific name of a genus of Philippine stick insects (family Heteropterygidae). The classical attestations place Tisamenus within dynastic genealogies and as a divinatory specialist; the taxonomic usage names an endemic insect genus redescribed in modern entomology.
Tishpak
Tishpak (Tišpak) was the primary tutelary deity of Eshnunna (Diyala region) in Mesopotamia, chiefly characterized as a warrior and protector of the city and associated with serpents and dragonlike monsters (mušḫuššu, bashmu). He displaced the earlier local god Ninazu in Eshnunna’s temple tradition and appears in myths (e.g., the poorly preserved Labbu tradition) where he combats great serpentine foes.
Titairon
Titairon is not attested in the provided sources. The source material instead discusses figures named Chloris and Ampyx/Ampycus in Greek myth; any identification of Titairon with those names is speculative and unsupported by the given excerpts.
Titans
A generation of powerful primordial divine beings in Greek myth who preceded and were overthrown by the Olympian gods. They function as progenitors of many cosmic forces and later become chthonic powers confined beneath the earth (Tartarus) though some traditions allow certain Titans to remain free.
Titivillus
Titivillus is a medieval Christian demon associated with the collection of omitted, syncopated, or mispronounced syllables and fragments from liturgy and the errors of scribes and printers; he is depicted chiefly as an infernal agent who gathers these fragments in sacks to be counted against offenders.
Tiyanak
The tiyanak is a malevolent Philippine supernatural being typically depicted as an infant‑shaped spirit that lures people by imitating a baby’s cry and then attacks or abducts them. It is variously understood as the restless soul of an infant who died unnamed or unbaptized and, in older Spanish‑era accounts, as an obstetric spirit (patianac) that obstructs childbirth.
Tizheruk
A serpent‑like sea creature of Inuit oral tradition, reported in sources as inhabiting cold Alaskan waters (notably near Key Island / the Kenai Fjords). Traditional accounts describe it as a large, physical aquatic predator reported to seize people from piers and kayaks.
Tiʻitiʻi
Tiʻitiʻi is a Samoan mythological culture-hero, a Māui-type figure who performs transformative deeds for humans — most notably wresting the secret of fire from the earthquake god Mafuiʻe. He is presented in Samoan tradition as an extraordinary being whose exploits explain origins and important cultural goods rather than as a regularly worshipped deity.
Tjilpa
In the supplied sources the term Tjilpa is not attested as a documented supernatural being; the only concrete referent in those materials is the western quoll (Dasyurus geoffroii, common name chuditch) discussed in an encyclopedic entry. No ethnographic or mythic descriptions of a 'Tjilpa' ancestral sand-goanna or paternal ancestral being appear in the provided documents.
