Conan The Adventurer (animated Series) - References To Deities

References To Deities

There are references to other beings (mostly deities) who are never seen in the series.

  • Crom - The main deity of the Cimmerians. In Conan the Barbarian he was a Deity of the earth and asked the recently dead before they entered Valhalla the secret of steel. In this series we learn that he fervently believes in freedom of men when Conan is offered a chance to a rule a city and its slaves which he outright refuses.
  • Mitra - Another deity who does not appear but has priests. In the series finale it is revealed that he has paladins and we see one of his priests marry a couple.
  • Kraken - Mentioned by a pirate in an episode of Conan. It stands to reason this is a sea deity as the Kraken was a mythical creature of the sea in Norse Mythology.
  • Woden - The main deity of the Vanirmen.
  • Tarim - A deity worshiped in Xanthus.
  • Jhebbal-Sag - The Lord of Beasts worshiped by the Wasai, he could be invoked to commune with animals. He appeared once in the series in the episode "The Vengeance of Jhebbal Sag."
  • Erlik the Flame-Lord - Wielder of the Crystal of Light and responsible for the imprisonment of the elder demon Shulgareth, the ruling family of Kusan descend from his blood. He appeared once in the series in the episode "When Tolls the Bell of Night."

Famous quotes containing the word deities:

    The gods themselves,
    Humbling their deities to love, have taken
    The shapes of beasts upon them. Jupiter
    Became a bull, and bellowed; the green Neptune
    A ram, and bleated; and the fire-robed god,
    Golden Apollo, a poor humble swain.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
