Pylaeus (Ancient Greek: Πύλαιος) is a mortal figure in Greek mythic-historical tradition presented as a descendant of Pelasgus and a commander allied to King Priam in the Trojan War. He is recorded as commanding the Pelasgian contingent together with his brother Hippothous and is noted in local Lesbos tradition as having commanded the Lesbian army and giving his name to a mountain on the island.
Pylaon (Ancient Greek: Πυλάων) is a minor figure in Greek mythic genealogies: a prince of Pylos, son of King Neleus and Chloris, recorded among the sons slain by Heracles during the sack of Pylos, with his brother Nestor noted as the exception who survived.
Pylenor is attested as a proper name in two unconnected sources: a centaur listed in classical myth indices (noted as wounded by Heracles) and a human priest character in a modern Assassin's Creed memory scene. The sources do not present Pylenor as a single folkloric being with attendant rituals or warding practices.
A sacred site in ancient Greek mythology, marking the self-immolation of hero Heracles and symbolizing his heroic nature and relationship with death. (Note: 1.

Pyrgo (Greek: Πυργώ) is a mortal woman named in Greek and Roman mythic genealogies and narratives. She appears chiefly as the first wife or consort of Alcathous in Pelops-cycle genealogies and, in other attestations, as a nurse of Priam's children who accompanies Aeneas to Sicily. Sources present Pyrgo as a named human household figure rather than a supernatural being.
Pyrrha (Πύῤῥα, "flame-coloured" or "red") is a mortal heroine in Greek myth: wife of Deucalion and one of the two human survivors of Zeus's deluge. Following an oracle from Themis, she and Deucalion repopulate the earth by casting stones over their shoulders that transform into people; she is therefore an ancestral/matriarchal figure in post‑diluvian genealogies.
Pyttius is attested in the provided sources solely as a human genealogical figure in Greek mytho-historical tradition, named as the father of Amarynceus, a chief of the Eleans. The sources do not present Pyttius as supernatural, nor do they record deeds, cult, appearance, or rituals associated with him.

Rhipheus is a named member of the centaur (Kentauroi) class in Greco‑Roman mythic catalogues and in Ovid's Metamorphoses. Surviving references are fragmentary: he appears as an onomastic entry among other centaurs and in a brief poetic line that compares his height to tall trees.
A pair of mortal young hunters attested in late antique and Byzantine literary sources as companions (or prospective companions) of Artemis whose enforced chastity is undone by Aphrodite’s agency; Rhodopis is transformed into a spring that later functions as a narrative test of female sexual purity.
Rhodos (also Rhode or Rhodus) is the divine personification and tutelary goddess of the island of Rhodes in ancient Greek tradition. She functions as an island-ancestor: in key accounts she is consort to Helios and mother of the Heliadae, the mythic founders/rulers of Rhodes, and was worshipped locally in the Hellenistic period.
Rhoecus is a name applied in Greek literary and local tradition to at least three distinct figures: a 6th-century BCE Samian sculptor known for bronze work and temple sculpture; a centaur named Rhoecus who, with Hylaeus, attacked Atalanta and was slain by her; and a local rich man of Cnidus who is credited in a fragmentary tale with saving a nymph and her sacred tree.
Rhoeo (Ancient Greek Ῥοιώ, Rhoiṓ) is a mortal woman in Greek myth who became a lover of Apollo and the mother of Anius, the priest-king of Delos. Her narrative explains the divine parentage and sanctified authority of Anius and ties a mortal lineage into the cultic landscape of Delos.
In the supplied sources, 'river god' denotes the anthropomorphic divine personification of a particular river, a localized nature divinity associated with a watercourse. The available materials are limited to a modern reference disambiguation and a museum object record showing later artistic depiction; they do not supply detailed ancient mythic narratives, rites, or consistent iconography.
An exemplar of filial piety in ancient Greek and Roman tradition, representing a child's extraordinary devotion to their parent. (Note: 1.

In Roman mythology, the Ferryman is a mythological figure tasked with guiding souls across the river Styx to the afterlife, requiring payment from each deceased person. (Note: * Power tier: Lesser (not Primordial), as it is more aligned with regional spirits, not cosmic forces. * Abilities: The Ferryman's role is focused on ferrying souls, but the implication that it contro)

Runtiya is a Luwian deity of the hunt and of deer, venerated in Anatolia from the Bronze Age into the Iron Age and later local contexts. He functions as a protective and hunting patron, depicted anthropomorphically in association with a stag or antlers and receiving offerings (notably gazelles) to secure success in the hunt.

No further mythological details for Sagaritis are provided in the available materials.
Salmacis is a naiad — a freshwater nymph tied to a specific spring near ancient Halicarnassus in Caria. In classical literature (notably Ovid) she appears in the Hermaphroditus narrative: her passionate pursuit and prayer are the occasion for the fusion of Hermaphroditus' and her bodies, and the spring acquires a reputation for making men 'effeminate and soft.'
Salmoneus (Greek Σαλμωνεύς) is a mythic early king and eponymous founder of Salmonia/Salmonē in Elis. In classical tradition he is remembered as an impious ruler who imitated Zeus’s thunder and lightning, ordered worship to himself, and was struck down by Zeus (later Roman tradition places him in Tartarus).
Samia is a name attested in modern reference works for two closely related senses within Greek mythic tradition: (1) a mythic woman, described as daughter of Maeander and wife of Ancaeus; and (2) an epithet of the goddess Hera. The attestations provided in the available sources are limited to brief lexical/gazetteer notices rather than surviving narrative or cult texts.
Sangarius is the classical name (with variants) of the river now called the Sakarya in north‑west Anatolia. Attested in Greek literary sources such as the Iliad and Hesiod's Theogony, it is described in modern reference works as the third longest river in Turkey and as running through the ancient region of Phrygia. The name is also reused in modern biological taxonomy as a genus name.
Sardus (Ancient Greek Σάρδος, Sardos), also called Sardus Pater and Sid Addir, is an eponymous mythic founder and ancestral hero of the island of Sardinia attested in classical authors. Classical sources (notably Sallust and Pausanias) present him as the namesake of Sardinia and attribute to him an arrival from Libya and a filial link to broader Mediterranean heroic figures (Heracles/Makeris/Melqart).
Sarpedon is a name applied to several figures in Greek myth; the best-known bearer is a son of Zeus who fought for Troy in the Trojan War. Other traditions make him a Cretan royal son of Zeus and Europa, and a separate Thracian Sarpedon is a son of Poseidon and eponym of a cape. The name later appears in non-mythic contexts (ship name, insect genus).
Saturn appears in the supplied sources in two registers: as the sixth planet of the Solar System described by modern astronomy, and as a named god in ancient Roman religion. The astronomical account provides detailed physical and orbital properties; the mythological account in the provided material is limited to the single-line classification of Saturn as a god in ancient Roman mythology and the note that the planet is named after that figure.
In ancient Greek tradition a satyr (σάτυρος, sátyros) is a male nature spirit of woodlands, mountains, and pastures who accompanies Dionysus (and is later identified with Pan/fauns). Satyrs embody ribaldry, music, dance, and unrestrained sexuality and appear collectively (as a chorus) in the satyr play as well as individually in mythic episodes (e.g., Marsyas, Silenus).
Satyrion (Ancient Greek: Σατύριον / Satyria) is attested in classical and later sources as a local nymph and place-name associated with the region of Taras/Tarentum (Taranto) and, secondarily, as a botanical name (certain orchids) and an aphrodisiac materia medica product named 'satyrion.' The figure functions mainly as an eponymous ancestress (mother of Taras by Poseidon) and the toponym anchors springs and local cultic/occupational memory; later herbalists and early modern medical writers use the name for orchids and sexual remedies.
Scamander (Greek Σκάμανδρος), also called Skamandros or Xanthos, is the river-god of the river that flowed around Troy in Greek myth. A son of Oceanus and Tethys in Hesiod's genealogy (with an alternate account naming Zeus), he is both the divine personification of the river and an active agent in mythic narrative, most notably intervening on the side of the Trojans in the Trojan War.
Scarphe (Ancient Greek: Σκάρφη), also attested as Scarpheia (Σκάρφεια), was an ancient town of the Epicnemidian Locrians in central Greece.

Semele is a figure of ancient Greek myth: a Theban princess, daughter of Cadmus and Harmonia, mother of Dionysus by Zeus, who dies after seeing Zeus in his full divine form and is later raised to divine status as Thyone. Her name and aspects of her cult have been linked by scholars to non‑Greek (Thraco‑Phrygian or Phrygian) earth‑goddess terminology, though the etymology is debated.
Serapis is a deliberately syncretic Graeco‑Egyptian deity formed from the fusion of the Egyptian Osiris‑Apis cult (Demotic wsjr‑ḥp / Coptic Userhapi) with Greek divine elements. Promoted in the Ptolemaic period as a civic cult figure, Serapis embodied chthonic rulership, healing, protection/asylum, and themes of abundance and resurrection, and his cult spread through the Hellenistic and Roman worlds.
A shade is the shadowy spirit or ghost of a dead person in classical and ancient Near Eastern literary and religious cosmologies, understood as the diminished, insubstantial residuum of a person who dwells in the underworld (Hades, Sheol/tsalmavet) rather than among the living.

A composite mythical figure with a human head and a lion's body known from Egyptian monumental guardianship and a distinct Greek monster tradition that riddles and kills those who fail to answer. In Egyptian contexts it functions as a benevolent royal and solar emblem carved as statuary; in Greek myth it is an animate, treacherous tester of humans.
