		Other than Leto II's wonderful intellectual powers, framed in the set of a deep thinker to give them cutting edges and weight, Leto II is also a wonderful psychological study of the arrogance, the sheer hubris, of great age and power.
		Leto II, due to his knowledge of the past and future thought that he knew best for everyone.
		Leto II is aware of this and his thirty-five hundred year lifespan is an attempt to get humanity out of the trap of his own future awareness.

	The Landsraad
		Mother of Paul Atreides and grandmother of Leto II and Ghanima, Lady Jessica is the most important woman in Dune's lengthy history.
		Leto 11 was comfortable with the Hetaira, Amazon, Medium, and Mother within himself, but was sure that the Terrible Mother governed all natural events; he sacrificed his subjective humanity to buy time from the objective monster Mother Nature he imagined.
		Jessica's sacrifices were genuine and (unlike Leto II's) necessary, for, as she well knew, Archetypal Motherhood was bound to confound the very thought that most languished for lack of it.

		Leto II was born as a human to his parents Paul Muad'Dib Atreides and a Fremen named Chani.
		Leto was naturally concerned with the extinction of all mankind and at the chronological age of nine (although he was the oldest person alive because of his memories), set a plan into motion that would save themselves from dying out.
		After three millennia after Leto's death, Arrakis, renamed to Rakis, was populated with sandworms again except this breed had a "pearl of awareness" of Leto in each one, as goes with the Bene Gesserit ability of Other Memories.

		Leto II is now metamorphosed into a sandworm, retaining only a human face and feeble arms and flippers where his legs used to be.
		Leto's ultimate goal is perhaps to have humankind spread out through the universe in such a way that no one entity can rule them all.
		Leto sees her as an important player in his plan though, and has her next in line to be his primary assistant…he claims rebels make for the best assistants once turned.

		Leto suggests that it is interesting that Hwi Noree seems the total opposite in character to Malky, the previous Ixian ambassador crafted by the Ixians as a being of pure cynicism and amorality, who Leto had had a close friendship with.
		Leto is irritated that Duncan is courting Hwi Noree.

		With the prescience to predict the future of humanity instead of with empirical analysis, Paul and Leto II saw the destruction that their entire existence was intended to prevent.
		Even so, though they were childlike in their quest for power, the Bene Gesserit (Leto II saw) were “so close, yet so far from what they needed to be.” And Leto made it his plan to make them into a people fit to rule.
		Leto II kept each people—Tleilaxu and Ixian—alive for a reason, they (and their resulting creations) actually help save humanity.

		But gradually she is corrupted, and Paul's children, Leto II and Ghamina, must fight to survive her regency and eventually to overthrow her.
		Leto II accepts the power that his father Paul could not accept, and begins to change himself into a sandworm.
		Finally, the special effect of having Leto actually transform into a giant sandworm is simply beyond the ability of the special effects technicians available to television, and so we get a relatively weak ending, with Leto running off across the desert at super speed.

		The "Moi-peau" of Leto II in Herbert's Atreides Saga
		Abstract.-- The "Moi-peau" of Leto II in Herbert's Atreides saga offers an interpretation of the enigmatic personality of Leto II, Paul Atreides' son, and may open new perspectives on the meaning of the whole cycle of Dune.
		From a psychoanalytical point of view, Leto's evolution and irreversible metamorphosis into a Sandworm, as de scribed in Children of Dune and God-Emperor of Dune, is a perfect illustration of a paroxysmal autistic behavior whose oedipal implications may be a key to the Atreides saga.

		Leto I trusted Jessica completely, though Hawat did not, and for the sake of show, Leto permitted that, he did believe in her fully.
		After Paul, Leto II used his loyalty as a benchmark against the changing human race, and to measure his own necessary "inhumanity".
		His attempts to kill Leto were because he was NOT "Atriedes", and Leto II mourned his deaths so deeply because Duncan couldn't/wouldn't see past his cruelty.

		Leto, then, was false to himself and to the ancient Atreides line and its sense of truth, honor, and devotion.
		How else can we understand Leto's repeated temper tantrums over the fact that his Duncans might disagree with him on even trivial matters or that his majordomos might dare to suggest that "His Ouroborosity" might occasionally have feet (or is the proper word "segments"?) of clay.
		Thus after the Starvation and the Scattering, we are now free-free from Leto, free from the Golden Path, and free from the threat of ourselves.

	Leto II & 3Jane: Numbers in Names in S/F
		LETO II, SHADDAM IV, AND ELROOD IX: ROMAN NUMERALS AND DYNASTIC SUCCESSION IN In Frank Herbert's Dune series, character names with Roman numeral suffixes appear in plenty.
		Elizabeth II, Richard III, Cleopatra VII etc.), on the world of Arrakis, such numbers also reflect a tension regarding technical progression--a tension, as it turns out, that is rooted in Victorian anxiety regarding Darwinism and technology.
		Additionally, by using characters with names that evoke periods of dynastic succession, such as Shaddam IV; antiquity, as Leto II of the house Atreides; and the Roman numeral in favor of the Arabic number sign, Herbert's world of Arrakis reveals the cultural tension regarding computer evolution.

		Leto II has become a human-sandworm creature, ruling over his angry and frustrated empire with his vast legions of Fish Speaker soldiers, enforcing peace for dozens of generations to teach the universe a lesson, while also waiting for the right time to turn Dune back into a desert planet.
		While it is obvious allthroughout that Leto has a deep, vision-motivated reason behind his lesson to humanity, the actual reasoning only became even slightly apparent at the end.
