Ogyges is a primeval mythic ruler in Greek tradition, conventionally linked to Boeotia/Thebes (with an alternative tradition making him first king of Attica) and eponymous for the prehistoric age and the so‑called Ogygian deluge.

Phoebe (Ancient Greek: Φοίβη, 'bright') is a first‑generation Titan in Greek mythology, daughter of Uranus (Sky) and Gaia (Earth). The name Phoebe is also used as an epithet for lunar goddesses (Artemis/Diana, Selene/Luna) and has been recycled in modern taxonomy and nomenclature (a moon of Saturn, plant and animal genera), but these are distinct referents rather than a single supernatural persona.
Phorcys (Ancient Greek: Φόρκυς) is a primordial sea deity in Greek myth, presented in Hesiodic genealogy as a son of Pontus and Gaia.

In the supplied sources it functions as a proper name for distinct human persons — most prominently a mid-4th-century Roman officer who seized Trier, several Christian clerics/bishops attested in patristic correspondence, and an attested name-entry as a leader of satyrs in a mythological name-list — rather than a single supernatural being.

Polyhymnia (Greek: Πολυύμνια), also Polymnia, is one of the nine Muses in ancient Greek myth and cult, traditionally associated with sacred hymn, contemplative eloquence, and solemn poetic praise.

Polyphemus is the Homeric Cyclops — a one‑eyed giant shepherd who lives outside Greek civic norms, notorious for refusing hospitality and for blinding and being blinded by Odysseus. Later literature reframes him variously as comic, rhetorical, or lovesick, but the core tradition presents him as a liminal, semi‑divine monstrous figure (son of Poseidon).
