Solomonari
Solomonari are weather-controlling magic-workers in Romanian folklore, described as human practitioners trained at a secret school who ride dragons (zmeu or balaur) and cause rain, thunder, or hail. They appear in 19th‑century ethnographic accounts from Transylvania, Bukovina, and adjacent Romanian regions and are associated with an institutionalized craft of magic (Scholomance/Şolomanţă) in several variants.

Sons of Aegyptus
A group of fifty mortal princes in Greek myth, the sons of King Aegyptus of Egypt, who were intended to marry the fifty daughters of Danaus; in the most common version all were slain on their wedding night except Lynceus. They function as a dynastic collective in Argive/Egyptian genealogical narratives and as a formal chorus-like group in tragic performance traditions.
Sopdet
Sopdet is the ancient Egyptian personification of the star Sirius and a goddess whose roles connect celestial observation, the annual Nile inundation and fertility, and funerary guidance for deceased kings. Over time her identity becomes syncretized with major Egyptian mother and royal deities, especially Isis, and in Greco-Roman contexts she acquires dog-associated imagery.
Sopdu
Sopdu is an ancient Egyptian sky and border deity associated with stars (linked to Sah/Orion and Sopdet/Sirius) and with protection of the eastern border regions and frontier installations. He was culted at Per‑Sopdu (the easternmost nome of Lower Egypt) and had shrines at Sinai mining sites; in funerary texts a syncretic Horus‑Sopdu figure is invoked in royal protective contexts.
Sopona (Ṣọ̀pọ̀na, Shapona)
Sopona is the Yoruba orisha associated with smallpox and related illnesses; the deity is understood to be capable of causing outbreaks through divine displeasure and—in traditions that identify him with Ọbaluaye/Obaluaiye—exists within a wider power to both afflict and remove pestilence. Beliefs about Sopona traveled with Yoruba peoples to the Americas and were syncretized in Orisha-based religions (e.g., as Babalú-Ayé).
