		Semo is apparently the singular form of a noun which occurs in the plural form Semunis in the song of the Salii.
		It was a rule of domestic ritual, that he who would swear by Dius Fidius should go out into the compluvium, the unroofed place in the middle of the house, where he could swear under the open sky; and the god's temple had a hole in the roof through which the sky could be seen.
		Dius is probably connected with the nouns Djovis and Jupiter: in other words, the people originally swore by the Sky-god under the special title of Fidius, as the guardian of good faith: but in time they came to look upon him as a distinct deity.

		That idea has mediaeval antecedents; Apollon (which is of course the actual Greek form of Apollo's name) was sometimes a synonym for the Devil or Satan in western Latinity.
		Apollo has no Roman equivalent or parallel, although here and there in Italy, as elsewhere, he is identified with a local deity, such as the god worshipped on Mt. Soracte, and the somewhat obscure figures of Semo Sancus Dius Fidius and of Veiouis seem to have been influenced by him.
		He also is identified with the sun by many theorists; this was a popular doctrine among ancient theologians from the fifth century b.C. onwards, but has really nothing to recommend it, save the fact that they both are archers.

		But why the god whose very name, Fidius, implies that he was the spirit of faith, and of whom not a single legend is narrated, who is as purely an abstrac- tion as Concordia or Spes, should be called a hero, it is at first sight hard to see.
