Anubis

Anubis is as mysterious as he looks. First known in ancient Egypt religion as the Lord of the dead, as he was the one embalming the diseased, guarding and protecting them. When this position was taken in by Osiris, Anubis became He Who counts the Hearts. Light hearts were led to Osiris, heavy hearts destroyed. Sometimes, Anubis is called the son of Osiris, and it's not clear whether Ra is the father or not. Anubis is represented as a man with the head of a black canid or jackall with alert, pointed ears. In Stargate, he's a for severe crimes banished system lord. He's half-ascended, has recruited Osiris to regain his forces and is trying to take over in snake-land.

Apophis

Apophis is the Greek version of the Egyptian god Apep, snake of the underworld, personification of darkness, evil and chaos. Is in constant battle with Ra, god of the Sun, and thus light. A brief victory on Ra, causing a solar eclipse, didn't last long; Ra defeated him in the end. In Stargate, Apophis is taking advantage of Ra's death, and gains much power. He's incredibly hard to kill and we don't know for sure, if he's finally killed by the replicators.

Bynarr

I haven't found any myth or legend that refers to a Bynarr, so he might just be a creation of the show. Bynarr, Lord of Netu, an underworld created by Sokar.

Cronus

Cronus is one of the twelve Titans, a race of godlike giants, each a personification of a force of nature. Cronus is the youngest one. Also known as the god of fate. The parents are Uranus and Gaia. Gaia provided Cronus with an adamantine sickle as a weapon to use against his father, and with that, Cronus castrated Uranus. Cronus and his wife Rhea (also his sister) then took the throne, and to prevent his own children becoming too powerful, he swallowed them after birth. One child, Zeus, escaped and was responisible for Cronus' defeat in the end. In Stargate, he was a very powerful Goa'uld, along with Yu, and Nirrti.

Cyr / Kianna

I have not found any mythology or legend referring to a goddess named Cyr. Anybody who does, please let me know. In Stargate she was a minor Goa'uld in Ba'al's service and had to check out Kelowna but she decided to turn against him and build her own empire. She was dating Jonas Quinn and took some medicine to prevent Major Carter from discovering that she was a Goa'uld. In the end, Cyr sacrificed herself and saved the host.

Hathor

Hathor was a pre-dynastic Egyptian goddess. She was most often depicted as a full cow with the sundisk between her horns or as a slender woman wearing the horns-and-a-sundisk headdress. The nae Hathor means The House of Horus. Apparently a daughter of Ra, who is at some time also her husband. As the Eye of Ra, she "becomes" Sakhmet in order to punish humans for transgressing against Ra. She nearly wipes out all of humanity, and Ra barely manages to stop her. In Stargate, Daniel calls her goddess of fertility, inebriation, and music, which Jack translates as the Queen of sex, drugs and rock'n roll. She's the mother of all pharao's, and one that's capable of "giving birth" to new Goa'uld.

The oldest of the Horus gods is appropriately named Horus the Elder (Heru-ur), and believed to be the son of Ra and Hathor.

His army are the Horus Guard. Heru'ur is most likely blown up with his ship during a battle with Apophis.

Imhotep / K'Tano

Imhotep was a commoner by birth, but rose through the ranks with his natural talents and dedication. Imhotep was the architect, physician, sage, astrologer, scribe, and chief minister of the Pharaoh Djoser, who reigned from 2630 - 2611 BCE. He designed the first pyramid (the Step Pyramid at Sakkara). Djoser's Step Pyramid was not just a tomb, but was a collection of temples, pavilions, corridors, chapels, halls and storerooms. His plan included fluted columns that were attached to the limestone walls, which conformed to the walls in the palace. This preserved a link with the past in the ancient styles of architecture. In Stargate, Imhotep disguises himself as his own First Prime and collects an army of Jaffa, searching for freedom. Killed by Teal'c.

Kali is a Hindu triple goddess of creation, protection and destruction. She's a goddess of contradictions, both unimaginable horror and abundant bliss, eternally intertwined in the dance of being. She's simultaneously womb and tomb, giver of life and devourer of her children. A Holy Paradox, like wild fire that destroys and births the forests. In Stargate, she has an allience with Bastet, and votes for Anubis' return.

Nirrti

Nirrti is an Indian (Hindu) goddess of destruction and death, bad luck and grief. She was black in complexion, had a black skin, wore black clothes and rather incongruously had long golden hair.

The two goddesses speak many tongues, i.e. not the language of the elite like all other well behaved gods. Nirrti in Stargate has specific powers like invisibility (phase shifting) and uses deception and spreads diseases. Killed by one of her own "sick" who she was supposed to be "healing."
