This is very interesting and eerie. How interesting that we don't know much about him yet he is the god of so many bad things that go on in our own head. Sounds very fitting to me. Dreams are the most unknown and mystical things in my opinion.

Does he reincarnate? Where did ancient Greeks get this idea? We do: Look at most politicians and pseudo-philanthropists. (Dreams, whether good or bad, are deceptions to begin with.) //
And who is Morpheus? Wikipedia points out that, according to Ovid, Morpheus [so named in Latin] is one of the many sons of Somnius. So, the Somnios in question must be from an older myth, which has been largely forgotten. Thank you, Anonymous, for your post.

Please, I, too. would like to know where YOU found this information. Is the name/word "Somnios" an extant ancient Greek one? I have consulted some online Greek lexicons and unfortunately I have not found it. It's possible that somebody played a joke on readers by transposing the Latin "Somnius" (which is a translation of Hypnos) into that similar Greek word. When I entered it in online translators [to English, French, or Latin], the response was that they did not have a translation. // Thank you.

Correction: The Latin word that translates Hypnos is Somnus [which > Ital. Sonno]; the Latin Somnia (plural of Somnium) are the things/forms which are seen in dreams. The word Somnius literally means "Of Sleep" but was obviously used as a noun, and it corresponds to Gr. *Somnios, which, like Anonymous, is nowhere to be found and, threfore, seems to have been coined by a prankster from the look-alike Latin word.
