abstract	The Cthulhu Mythos is a term used to describe a whole genre of stories that are united by references to the same characters, places, books or creatures, many of these creatures being worshiped as gods. In particular, Cthulhu is the most well-known of these gods. Cthulhu, and many of these other elements, were created by noted early-20th century author H. P. Lovecraft in his tales of "cosmic horror", but Lovecraft generally used and reused names and places in his works simply to provide the illusion of a deeper background story, and is thought to have been unconcerned with the notion of creating a master continuity into which all these crossing-over details could be fitted snugly and consistently. Most of what we now know as the 'Mythos' – as a coherent mythology – was pieced together by his acolyte August Derleth after his death and further codified in the Call of Cthulhu popular role-playing game.
