The name also appears in early modern song broadsides as a beloved figure and exists independently as a Roman gens name.

Cap-o'-Rushes is the title and heroine of an English folktale collected by Joseph Jacobs. The story is classed among international folktale types (principally ATU 510B) and opens with the 'Love Like Salt' motif; it tells of a daughter who disguises herself in a garment of rushes, works as a kitchen maid, attends secret balls, causes recognition by hiding a ring in a dish, and engineers reconciliation by ordering a saltless wedding feast so her father remembers his earlier words.
A capon is a castrated or chemically sterilized male chicken fattened for food. The term and its documented attributes are agricultural and culinary; sources do not describe a supernatural or folkloric entity by this name.

Cayster is primarily attested as a geographic river in western Anatolia (modern Küçük Menderes) that flows westward to the Aegean near Pamucak beach by Selçuk.

Caystrus is the ancient name of a river in western Asia Minor (modern Küçük Menderes) and the personified river-god associated with that watercourse in local ancient summaries. Attested in geographic and mythological reference summaries, Caystrus functions as a local river-deity tied to place and to civic genealogy (a son described as an autochthon is said to give the name of Ephesus).
Caïssa is a literary personification and poetic invention associated with the game of chess, originating in Renaissance and later European poetry. Presented as a dryad- or nymph-like figure (Vida's Schacchia; Jones's Caïssa), she functions in literature and modern chess commentary as an emblematic patron or metaphor for luck and inspiration in the game rather than a claimed folk spirit.

Charon (Χάρων) is the ferryman of the Greek underworld who conveys the souls of the dead across the boundary river (variously Acheron or Styx). He functions as an underworld attendant and psychopomp whose service typically requires funeral rites and payment (Charon's obol).
In Roman tradition, Charon's obol is a payment or bribe given to Charon, the ferryman of the dead, to ensure safe passage across the afterlife. (Note: - Power tier should be Lesser, as it's a payment or bribe, not a cosmic entity. - Remove mention of supernatural powers, as the text states it serves as a payment for Charon's services. - Add that the)

"famous, infamous") is a recurring personal name in Greek myth applied to multiple mortal figures — kings, princes, an Argonaut, and a suitor — and in one minor late attestation appears as a title or epithet of Hades.
