We'll just say it's a God 
Narcissus - In his Metamorphoses, Ovid tells the story of a graceful and pretty nymph named Echo who loved Narcissus, in vain. Narcissus' beauty was so unmatched that he felt it was godlike in scope, comparable to the beauty of Dionysus and Apollo. As a result, Narcissus spurned Echo's affections until, despairing, she faded away to nothing but a faint, plaintive whisper. To teach the vain boy a lesson, the goddess Nemesis doomed Narcissus to fall in love with his own reflection in Echo's pond. Entranced by his own beauty and enamoured with his own image, Narcissus lay on the bank of the river and wasted away staring down into the water. |

(I don't think there is a p so I'm skipping and going on to r)
Rhadamanthus (also transliterated as Rhadamanthys or Rhadamanthos) in Greek mythology was a son of Zeus and Europa and brother of Minos, king of Crete, and Sarpedon. (Only half God but what can you do. And who picked this category anyway!) (Oh yeah... I did!)  |

Well several sites have confirmed my greatest fear.... There are no Roman or Greek gods in the final four letters of the alphabet.
Valandra, you had the final entry so you get to pick a new category. I think if it's not as obscure as mine was, more people will play!  |
