In Greek mythology, Hellen is considered the mythical ancestor of all Greeks because he was believed to be the progenitor of the Hellenic people through his three sons, Dorus, Xuthus, and Aeolus. These sons were the founders of the major tribes that would later form the Greek nation. Over time, stories and legends reinforced this belief, establishing Hellen as the common ancestor from whom all Greeks descended.

from Wikipedia--
By Cyrene, Apollo had a son named Aristaeus, who became the patron god of cattle, fruit trees, hunting, husbandry and bee-keeping. He was also a culture-hero and taught humanity dairy skills and the use of nets and traps in hunting, as well as how to cultivate olives. With Hecuba, wife of King Priam of Troy, Apollo had a son named Troilus. An oracle prophesied that Troy would not be defeated as long as Troilus reached the age of twenty alive. He was ambushed and killed by Achilles. ...
Coronis, daughter of Phlegyas, King of the Lapiths, was another of Apollo's liaisons. Pregnant with Asclepius, Coronis fell in love with Ischys, son of Elatus. A crow informed Apollo of the affair. When first informed he disbelieved the crow and turned all crows black (where they were previously white) as a punishment for spreading untruths. When he found out the truth he sent his sister, Artemis, to kill Coronis (in other stories, Apollo himself had killed Coronis). As a result he also made the crow sacred and gave them the task of announcing important deaths. Apollo rescued the baby and gave it to the centaur Chiron to raise. Phlegyas was irate after the death of his daughter and burned the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. Apollo then killed him for what he did. In Euripides' play Ion, Apollo fathered Ion by Creusa, wife of Xuthus. Creusa left Ion to die in the wild, but Apollo asked Hermes to save the child and bring him to the oracle at Delphi, where he was raised by a priestess.

"X" is always said with a "ks" sound in Greek, so that makes it a cumbersome letter with which to start a word or name.
If you're asking for full-on deities whose names in the Latin alphabet start with X, there are only two, neither of them major: Xanthus was the patron god of the River of Troy. Another Xanthus was one of the twelve sons of Pan.
There are figures whose names start with X who appear in Greek mythology, however, and many minor mythological figures may have been adaptations of older divinities, in the same way that the Welsh river god Cei became Sir Kay of the Arthurian mythos.
There are several women named Xanthippe, one of whom fed her imprisoned father, Myconus, on her own breast milk to prevent his starvation, but the best known is probably the legendary Amazon leader Xanthippe.
Xanthius was the father of Leucippus, who fell in love with his own sister after drawing the attention of a wrathful Aphrodite, goddess of Love. Xanthius was told his daughter had been seduced away from her betrothed and stormed into her room, catching her with Leucippus, and killed her, thinking he was killing her lover. Leucippus then slew his father, none of them having any idea whom they were killing at the time.
There are a number of non-divine people named Xanthus listed on Wikipedia: Xuthus founded the Ionian and Achaen nations through his sons.
There are a number of gods/titans (the titans being the progenitors of the gods) whose names start with the greek letter X, including good old Chaos.

It depends upon which Creusa.
Creusa the daughter of Ceron died in Medusa's bid for revenge.
Creusa the daughter of Erechtheus did not die; by Apollo her son was Ion, Achaeus and Dorus and Diomede by Xuthus: mother of Cephalus by Hermes.
Creusa, daughter of Priam and Hecuba, was the first wife of Aeneas and mother to Ascanius (also known as Iulus) as her family leaves the home, Aeneas carrying his father and Ascanius holding his hand, while Creusa is to remain some distance behind them. As they flee through the city, pursued by Greeks, they reach the gates and begin to run, after noticing that the Greeks appear to be gaining on them. Creusa is unable to keep up with them.
After reaching Ceres' temple outside of the city, Aeneas leaves Anchises and Ascanius there to go back in search of Creusa. As he searches the city without success, he meets the ghost of Creusa, who tells him that she may not leave the city with him. She predicts his journey to Hesperia, Italy and future marriage to another. She asks that Aeneas take care of their child and vanishes. Aeneas tries three times to hold her, each time failing to grasp her wraith.

The pituitary gland is a small organ in the brain that is often referred to as the "master gland" because it plays a key role in regulating hormones in the body. It produces and releases hormones that control various bodily functions, such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction. It is divided into two parts: the anterior pituitary and the posterior pituitary.
