Tradition attributes to him a leadership role in the primitive Christian community, a renaming by Jesus signifying a "rock/foundation" role, and martyrdom in Rome under Nero. Relics and institutions (notably the Chair of Saint Peter) continue to anchor his symbolic authority.

Salacia
Salacia is the Roman divine personification of saltwater and the calm, sunlit aspect of the sea, frequently portrayed as the consort of Neptune and a sea-nymph attendant within Neptune's court.

Salmacis
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.'
Samael
An angelic figure in Jewish textual traditions whose roles include accuser/adapter (Satanic function), tempter, destroyer/angel of death, and, in later mystical texts, leader of demonic or qlippothic forces. Samael is presented variously across Second Temple literature, midrashim, and Kabbalah; his destructive functions are often framed as serving divine purposes rather than as an independent absolute evil.
