Lusitanian mythology was heavily influenced by or related to Celtic mythology. [15] [16] Also well attested in inscriptions are the names Bandua [17] [18] [19] (one of the variants of Borvo) [20] often with a second name linked to a locality such as Bandua Aetobrico, and Nabia, [21] a goddess of rivers and streams. [15] [22]
Endovelicus (Portuguese: Endouellicus, Endovélico; Spanish: Endovélico, Enobólico) is one of the pre-Roman Lusitanian and Celtiberian gods of the Iron Age. He was originally a chthonic god. He was the God/Lord of the Underworld and of health, prophecy and the earth, associated with vegetation and the afterlife.
The epithet Bormanico probably derives from a river name *Bormano-, a word cognate to the name of continental Celtic deity Borvo. [26]Apart from Reo Larauco ('Reus of Larouco') the epithets share an -aik-element interpreted as an adjectival marker [27] familiar from Lusitanian inscriptions in the dedications to Reo Paramaeco ('Reus of Paramo') Amoaego Arcunii, Anabaraeco, and Alabaraico Sulensi.
Ares Lusitani (Latin for the Lusitanian Ares) was the God of horses and knights in Lusitanian mythology, in the cultural area of Gallaecia and Lusitania (in the territory of modern Galicia and Portugal). This deity was probably a late Greek-Roman addition to the native pantheon.
