When Billy Batson is gifted the powers of Shazam, the Wizard claims
Yes. I give you the power. And with it all my strength. Solomon's wisdom. The power of Hercules. Atlas toughness. The power of Zeus. The courage of Achilles. And Mercury's speed.
None of these mythical characters fly, but Shazam can. What gives him the power of flight? Was that part of the Wizard's original powers? Or why wasn't a flying mythical entity referred to in this line of dialogue?

Solomon's wisdom...In the film, he wasn't shown as being particularly wise. I'd just take the whole quote as more symbolic and not literally related to his power set. At least in terms of this movie's interpretation of the character

@Wmbuch He also wasn't shown as being particularly good at flying, until he got the hang of it. I think we can safely interpret his actions at the end of the film as evidence that he'd gotten the hang of tapping into Solomon's wisdom as well as he had done with the other powers.

Since this is set in the same universe as Wonder Woman it coud be part of Zeus' power set, because at the end of "Wonder Woman" we see Ares fly, and Diana (a demi-god and daughter of Zeus) was, at the very least, floating in the air. So it stands to reason that Zeus is also capable of flight. But I'm just guessing here.

Hermes/Mercury is well known for his winged shoes, also known as Talaria
According to wikipedia(citation needed), they flew the god as swift as any bird.
So I would say that even if it not explicitely stated, Flying falls under Mercury Powers.

@DoctorPenguin, The acronym things is a constant in SHAZAM. For exemple Black Adam also got it's power from divinity and it's also spell "SHAZAM", but from egypthian god : Shu, Haru, Amon, Zehuti, Aton, Mehen.
