Sommonacodom

Sommonacodom, in Siamese mythology, was a most wise legislator, who was conceived by his virgin mother from the sun. He traversed the world passing through repeated births until he had occupied five hundred and fifty bodies, and blesses the world with his teachings until his mission is accomplished and the earth is free from sin. He trained many pupils, and died from eating the flesh of a hog which contained the soul of an evil genius whom he had once conquered. Temples and numerous statues were erected in his honor throughout Siam.
