The name 'Thereus' in the consulted sources is a Latinized taxonomic and catalog name rather than a mythic origin narrative. As used in biology it denotes a genus assigned within Linnaean taxonomy (family Lycaenidae, subfamily Theclinae, tribe Eumaeini). As used in astronomy it is the assigned name for minor planet/centaur 32532, discovered and cataloged by the Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking program on 9 August 2001. The sources provide no linguistic etymology or mythological origin for the name.
Biological: Thereus is a genus of small gossamer-winged butterflies (family Lycaenidae) occurring across the Neotropics; specific morphological descriptions are not provided in the supplied excerpts beyond family/subfamily placement and small size. One named species, Thereus pedusa, is reported from Brazil (Amazon) and the Guianas. Astronomical: 32532 Thereus is a Centaur-class minor planet in the outer Solar System, with an estimated diameter of approximately 80 kilometers and an orbital period on the order of ~34.7 years; one source characterizes it as a 'Saturn crosser' in astrological language.
No supernatural powers or behaviors are attributed to Thereus in the provided material. Biological: the sources do not supply behavioral ecology beyond geographic distribution for the butterfly genus. Astronomical: orbital characteristics (classification as a Centaur, approximate orbital period, and crossing relationships noted by some sources) are given, but no animate agency is ascribed. Creative uses reflect individual users' or artists' choices rather than traditional abilities.

*Perkʷūnos is the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European thunder‑god hypothesized by comparative linguistics and mythology. Scholarly reconstructions portray him as a storm or thunder figure associated with fructifying rain and as the combatant who fights a multi‑headed water‑serpent to release life‑giving waters; no direct attestations from the Proto‑Indo‑European period survive and the figure is inferred from later Indo‑European traditions.
*Péh₂usōn (reconstructed)
Péh₂usōn is a hypothetical Proto‑Indo‑European pastoral guardian reconstructed by comparative scholars from parallels in Greek and Vedic traditions. Proposed as a Graeco‑Aryan ancestor‑figure, the reconstruction describes a protector of flocks, roads, and travellers rather than an attested historical cultic personality.
