This can be from Irish, Native American, Greek, Roman, Nordic, whatever.....

You can post a person, place or thing----you can even post TV shows / films, whatever.....

It'd be great if you also post which mythology, and a little blurb about the whatever. I'm thinking Greco-Roman is probably the most well-known, so maybe you wouldn't have to give any description.

As with ALL "A to Z" threads, "X", "Y", and "Z" may be skipped----and, you can skip "Q", as well.

Apportioner (Native American / Cherokee) - "Great Spirit" who presided over all things and created the Earth.
