Sol (English spelling)

Japanese: ソル（英語表記）Sol

(1) A woman in Norse mythology who drives a chariot to pull the sun. She is the daughter of a man named Mundilferi and has a brother called Mani. The father boasted about the beauty of his children and gave them the names Sol (sun) and Mani (moon), so the gods punished him for his insolence by abducting them to heaven and making them drivers of a chariot to pull the sun and moon. (2) An ancient Roman sun goddess. Originally a secondary deity on par with the moon goddess Luna, she was identified with the Greek Helios, but later came to be identified with the more important Apollo, and was also confused with the sun gods of Eastern religions such as Mithraism. She was called "the ever-victorious sun" (Sol Invictus) and held the position of supreme deity in the state cult of the Roman Empire until she was replaced by Christianity.

Japanese:

(1) 北欧神話の太陽を引く馬車の女御者。ムンディルフェリという男の娘で，弟にマニがいる。父がこの美貌の子供たちを自慢して，それぞれに太陽（ソル）と月（マニ）の名を与えたため，神々がこの不遜を罰し，二人を天にさらい，太陽と月を引く馬車の御者に仕立てたとされる。(2) 古代ローマの太陽神。もともとは月の女神ルナと並ぶ副次的神格でしかなく，ギリシア神話のヘリオスと同一視されたが，のちにより重要なアポロンと同一視されるようになったうえに，ミトラ教など東方起源の宗教の太陽神とも混同され，「常勝の太陽」（ソル・インウィクトゥス）と呼ばれて，キリスト教に取って代わられるまで，ローマ帝国の国家祭祀における最高神の地位を占めた。
