:''This article is about the Roman sun god. For the Norse sun goddess of the same name, see Sól.'' Sol was the solar deity in Ancient Roman religion. It was long thought that Rome actually had two different, consecutive sun gods. The first, Sol Indiges, was thought to have been unimportant, disappearing altogether at an early period. Only in the late Roman Empire, scholars argued, did solar cult re-appear with the arrival in Rome of the Syrian Sol Invictus, perhaps under the influence of the Mithraic mysteries. ==Etymology== The Latin ''sol'' for "Sun" is the continuation of the PIE heteroclitic '' *Seh2ul- / *Sh2-en-'', cognate to Germanic ''Sol'', Sanskrit ''Surya'', Greek ''Helios'', Lithuanian ''Saulė''.〔see e.g. EIEC, p. 556.〕 Also compare Latin ''solis'' to Etruscan ''usil''. Today, ''sol'' (or variations of it, such as Italian ''sole'' or French ''soleil'') is still the main word for "sun" in Romance languages. ''Sol'' is used in contemporary English by astronomers and many science fiction authors as the proper name of the Sun to distinguish it from other stars which may have their own planetary systems. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sol (mythology)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
