Elder God

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

A race of Elder Gods overthrown by a present race of younger gods is a mythic theme in the Ancient Near East that was borrowed by the Greeks: see Titan (mythology), Titanomachy.

Employing this cultural background, modern adaptations include:

• Elder God (Cthulhu Mythos), a type of fictional deity in the Cthulhu mythos
• Elder God (Legacy of Kain), a video game character in the Legacy of Kain series
• Elder Gods (Marvel Comics), fictional gods in the Marvel Universe
• Elder Gods (Mortal Kombat), fictional entities in the Mortal Kombat mythos
