I have a challenge for you smarty smart smarters that are smart.

Out of the entire worlds entire gathering of cultures, lore and overall historical stories, legends and such...

Out of that all.

What entities or entity or God or Legendary Character or what have you would be capable of, or at least well known to be able to "Teleport", or rather move so rapidly in the blink of an eye that it's almost equateable to a teleportation.

I've been poking around sites like pantheon and godchecker but it isn't working out for me, so I'm hoping you guys can help me out.

the Iliad contains a passage that describes Thetis traveling between her seabed home to Zeus' abode "within a breath, as is the manner of the Gods"

...which would imply the entire Greek pantheon would be capable of teleportation. cbf to find the passage though

I think that Pazuzu, commanding the wind, would also be able to travel extremely fast.

Well, when you can move at speeds that would make a Ramjet pilot crap himself.....the concept of teleportation becomes silly.

Considering the distances between stars at opposite arms of a galaxy and even worse distances between galaxies and then comparing them to the speed of light make any form of travel seem silly.

It also makes any form of teleportation where the teleported information is restricted to travel with the speed of light seem equaly silly.

The only resonable form of travel on an intergalactic level for a biological entity would not include any continous movement through space at all.

On that note I don't think you will find any notions different from either very fast travel or beeing everywhere on nowhere in mythology. there are some ideas about infinity floating around, but the usual notions are very earth centered... and for a good reason.
