Cenodoxus is the central dramatic figure of a Jesuit miracle play by Jacob Bidermann (early 17th century). The play stages a didactic, theatrical account in which a man famed for public virtue is revealed—through staged supernaturalized events within the drama—to have been inwardly culpable of pride (vainglory); the corpse’s vocal interruptions of liturgy and the personified Seven Deadly Sins are theatrical devices used to dramatize divine judgment and the necessity of interior humility.
A mythic hybrid from ancient Greek tradition with the upper body of a human and the lower body and legs of a horse. Centaurs appear as a tribal population associated with mountainous and wooded regions of Greece and embody tensions between human social order and untamed nature.

Sources present him as a son of Apollo and Stilbe and as twin brother to Lapithes; traditions vary about which centaur the constellation specifically represents.
Centeōtl is the Nahua/Aztec maize deity — the divine personification of maize, its growth, cultivation and role in human subsistence. The name (Cintli + teōtl) ties the deity to the maize ear; Centeōtl features centrally in planting and harvest rites, calendrical offices, and Aztec cosmological genealogy.

The Centzonmīmixcōah (Nahuatl: 'Four Hundred Mimixcoa') are a multitudinous cohort of Aztec gods identified in sources as the gods of the northern stars. Presented as a collective rather than a single person, they are born in origin myths, are taught weapons by the Sun, lapse in duty through drunkenness and licentiousness, and are slain (and in some accounts transformed) into the northern stars by a later band of five Mimixcoa.
Cephalion is attested in classical and late-antique sources as a human name appearing in two distinct registers: (1) an authorial/historian or rhetorician cited by later chroniclers (placed by one source in the time of Hadrian and by another as author of a multi-volume history beginning with Assyria), and (2) a mytho‑genealogical figure named as the son of Amphithemis and the nymph Tritonis. The supplied materials present these as separate, unreconciled references rather than as a single supernatural entity.
Cephalus (Ancient Greek: Κέφαλος) is an ancient Greek masculine personal name borne by several mythological and literary figures. In surviving sources he appears as a hunter, husband of Procris, a beloved of the dawn-goddess Eos in some traditions, a son in varying genealogies, and as a named interlocutor in Plato's Republic rather than as a class of supernatural being.
Cepheus (Ancient Greek: Κηφεύς) is a mythic king of Tegea in Arcadia attested in classical Greek legendary cycles. He is portrayed as a mortal heroic-age ruler and warrior—an Argonaut and participant in pan-Hellenic heroic lists—who was killed, along with most of his twenty sons, during Heracles's campaign against Hippocoon of Sparta. The name Cepheus is also shared by another mythic king (the king of Aethiopia, father of Andromeda) and by a northern constellation; some later summaries conflate details between these figures.
Cephisso is attested in classical-era lists as one of a triad of Muses described in some local Greek traditions as daughters of Apollo and associated symbolically with lyre-string names. She appears in brief encyclopedic and mythographic notices rather than in extended mythic narratives.
Cephissus (Kephisos) is the personified river-divinity name applied to several distinct rivers in ancient Greece (notably in Attica, Boeotia/Phocis, and Argolis). As one of the Potamoi, Cephissus functions primarily as a local river-god appearing in genealogies (father of naiads and certain mortals), in topographical myths, and in occasional civic or adjudicatory mentions.

Cerceis (Ancient Greek Κερκηίς, Kerkēís) is named in Greek mythological genealogies as one of the Oceanids, the many nymph-daughters of the Titans Oceanus and Tethys. She is attested as a water-associated nymph whose name in the surviving tradition is glossed either as 'of the weaving shuttle' (from kerkis) or as 'gorgeous in form.'
Cercetes (Ancient Greek: Κερκέτης) is a named Egyptian prince in Greek mythic genealogy, recorded as one of the fifty sons of King Aegyptus who married (and was slain by) one of the Danaïdes.

The Cercopes (Greek Κέρκωπες, 'tailed ones') are a pair (or more) of mischievous trickster woodland figures in Greek myth, proverbial as liars, thieves, and comic rascals. Best known for stealing Heracles' weapons during his servitude to Omphale and being bound and humiliated by him, they appear across literary fragments and vase imagery and are variously explained as primordial offspring, human tricksters, or etiological figures for monkeys.
Cercyon (Ancient Greek: Κερκύων, Kerkýōn) is a name applied in Greek tradition to at least two figures: a malefactor killed by the hero Theseus during his clearing of the road to Athens, and a genealogical figure described as son of Agamedes and father of Hippothous. Sources present him as a human antagonist or ancestor rather than a supernatural species.
Cercyon (Greek Κερκύων, Kerkúōn) is a figure from Greek myth, portrayed as a violent local ruler or robber near Eleusis who challenged travelers to wrestling matches and killed those he defeated. He is best known as one of the opponents overcome by the culture-hero Theseus, who defeated him by skillful wrestling and slew him, an episode that both eliminates a local menace and links to the institution of wrestling in the mythic tradition.
Cerdo is a named female figure in Greek mythic genealogy, attested in some accounts as the wife of Phoroneus of Argos and mother within early Argive royal lists. She appears only in variant genealogical traditions and is not portrayed in the supplied sources as a deity, cult figure, or supernatural agent.

Ceridwen is an enchantress in medieval Welsh legend, keeper of a cauldron whose brew produces awen (poetic inspiration). In the Tale of Taliesin she brews a potion intended for her son; when her servant Gwion Bach gains the first drops the resulting pursuit, shapeshifting sequence, swallowing and rebirth produce the poet Taliesin. Later sources and modern writers sometimes recast her as a goddess of transformation and rebirth.

An antlered male divine figure attested in Iron Age and Roman‑period Celtic iconography, conventionally named from a damaged inscription on the 1st‑century CE Pillar of the Boatmen.

Ceroessa (Ancient Greek Κερόεσσα, Keróessa) is a legendary human heroine in the foundation-myth cycle of Byzantium. Daughter of Io and Zeus and mother of Byzas by Poseidon, she functions etiologically as the ancestress who links divine genealogy to the founding and toponymy of the Golden Horn.
A singular, extraordinary deer of Greek myth sacred to Artemis and famed as the quarry of Heracles' third labour; described as unusually large, extremely swift, and ritually dedicated to a goddess rather than merely a wild animal.
Cessair (Modern Irish: Ceasair, glossed 'sorrow, affliction') is a mytho-historical founding figure in medieval Irish tradition, presented in the Lebor Gabála Érenn as the leader of the first company to settle Ireland prior to the Biblical Flood.

Cethlenn (Old Irish Cethlenn/Cethleann/Ceithlenn/Ceithlionn; modern Irish Ceithlinn/Caitlín in some treatments) is a named figure in medieval and early modern Irish narrative tradition associated with the Fomorians. She appears as a prophetess who foretells the downfall of the Fomorians, a martial actor who wounds the Dagda in the Second Battle of Mag Tuired, a mother linked to Ethniu (and thus to Lugh), and an eponymous figure tied to the place-name Enniskillen (Inis Cethlenn).
Ceto (Ancient Greek: Κητώ, Kētṓ) is a primordial sea goddess in Greek mythic cosmology, daughter of Pontus and Gaia, primarily notable as the maternal progenitor of various named monstrous beings (e.g., the Graeae and Gorgons) by Phorcys. Her name is etymologically linked to the common Greek term for sea-monster (kētos), and she functions chiefly as a genealogical and cosmological figure rather than an active, individualized actor in surviving narratives.
Cetus (Greek ketos, Latinized Cetus) is a monstrous sea-being in Greek myth whose ravaging of the Ethiopian coast—sent as divine punishment—threatens Andromeda and is slain by a hero; the creature is commemorated as the constellation Cetus in classical star-maps.
