	Business Software Review : Article 'H. P. Lovecraft'
		The term Cthulhu Mythos was coined by Lovecraft's correspondent and fellow author, August Derleth, after Lovecraft's death; Lovecraft referred to his artificial mythology as "Yog-Sothothery"[1] (http://www.sff.net/people/timpratt/611.html).
		Long was a friend and correspondent of Lovecraft, as well as a fellow fantasist who wrote a number of Lovecraft-influenced Cthulhu Mythos stories (including The Hounds of Tindalos).
		Regardless of the legal disagreements surrounding Lovecraft's works, Lovecraft himself was extremely generous with his own works and actively encouraged others to borrow ideas from his stories, particularly with regard to his Cthulhu Mythos.

	HPLA - The Cthulhu Mythos
		The “Cthulhu Mythos” is a name given to the superficial elements of Lovecraft’s fiction: the extraterrestrial “gods,” the magical grimoires, and the fictional New England towns.
		However, Lovecraft never used the term “Cthulhu Mythos,” on rare occasions referring to this series of connected stories as his “Arkham cycle.” The term “Cthulhu Mythos” was probably coined by August Derleth (or perhaps Clark Ashton Smith) after Lovecraft’s death.
		Indeed, many items of popular culture that claim to be inspired by Lovecraft are, in reality, more inspired by the “mythos.” The works of H.P. Lovecraft and those of the “Cthulhu Mythos” should be considered as two completely different phenomena.

	Cthulhu Mythos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Another problem with Derleth's mythos is that the Elder Gods never appear in Lovecraft's writings; except for one or two who appear as "Other Gods", such as Nodens in Lovecraft's "The Strange High House in the Mist" (though perhaps this is an example of how "very rarely [they stir] forth"; i.e., usually never).
		Most of the elements of Lovecraft's mythos were not a cross-pollination of the various myth-cycles of the Lovecraft Circle, but were instead deliberately created by each writer to become part of the mythos — the most notable example being the various arcane grimoires of forbidden lore.
		Hence, since Lovecraft made passing reference to Clark Ashton Smith's Book of Eibon, Derleth added Smith's Ubbo-Sathla to the mythos.

		Many of the Cthulhu Mythos collections are published by small presses and not normally stocked by your everyday bookstore.
		Lovecraft introduced Cthulhu in "The Call of Cthulhu." Beyond his writing, Lovecraft mentored a number of other authors of the time; this "Lovecraft Circle" wrote a great many stories about Mighty Cthulhu and other extraterrestrial deities...
		I'm not going to address here issues of canon, questions such as which stories are the heart of the Mythos or which stories don't belong in the Mythos at all.

	Cthulhu mythos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cthulhu Mythos is the term coined by the writer August Derleth to describe the shared themes, characters, and elements in the works of H.P. Lovecraft, his protegés, and writers influenced by him.
		Another problem with Derleth's Mythos is that the Elder Gods never appear in Lovecraft's writings; except for one or two who appear as "Other Gods", such as Nodens in Lovecraft's "The Strange High House in the Mist" (though perhaps this is an example of how "very rarely [they stir] forth"; i.e., usually never).
		Although Cthulhu has become the most well-known of these deities, he is not the most powerful or the theological center of Lovecraft's universe.

	THE OFFICIAL CTHULHU MYTHOS FAQ - Part 1
		Some have objected to the term "Cthulhu Mythos", as it was not coined by Lovecraft himself, but by August Derleth.
		You may also find out a large number of other games which mention Lovecraft's creations in a peripheral way, such as Quake, which includes Shub-Niggurath at the end and has many of its levels named after Mythos locations.
		On the other hand, he kept Lovecraft's writing in the public eye and kept the Cthulhu Mythos going, in the process discovering such Mythos authors as Ramsey Campbell and Brian Lumley.

		The text at the end discussing Lovecraft's view on the Cthulhu mythos and its evolution is excellent and helps to dispel many lies that have been spread about Lovecraft.
		For those unfamiliar with Lovecraft's Cthulhu tales, his stories concerned a whole constellation of "ancient gods," or evil deities cast into exile when another set of gods battled these creatures for control of the universe.
		Quest For Cthulhu is some of the the best "Lovecraft" there is, aside from HP himself.

	Simon's necronomicon
		The term Cthulhu Mythos, itself, was coined by Lovecraft's correspondent and fellow author, August Derleth, after Lovecraft's death; Derleth referred to his artificial mythology as "Yog-Sothothery"[http://www.sff.net/people/timpratt/611.html].
		The Necronomicon is a fictional book invented by H.P. Lovecraft and is often featured in stories based on the Cthulhu mythos inspired by his works.
		This took on a dark tone with the creation of what is today often called the Cthulhu Mythos, a pantheon of alien extra-dimensional deities and horrors which predate mankind, and which are hinted at in aeon-old myths and legends.

		In particular, he has proved beyond dispute that Lovecraft was not a bad writer with a cool setting, but a brilliant wordsmith with considerably more to say than two-dimensional representations of the Cthulhu mythos might suggest.
		Since the early 1980s he has pushed Lovecraft scholarship forward, returning to basic texts and eschewing much that has been added to Lovecraft's work over the years both in terms of his exaggerated reputation for oddness and the accumulated baggage of the Cthulhu mythos itself.
		From an account of Charleston (describing Lovecraft's travelogue of his trip to Charleston, VA in 1930) to Zimmer (a character in The Temple), this encyclopaedia provides entries on Lovecraft's stories, articles and poetry; his family and professional and personal acquaintances; and numerous mini-essays on such things as Lovecraft's travels, Lovecraft's Necronomicon and amateur journalism.

	An Interview with Robert Weinberg
		In the late 1960�s I published A Readers Guide to the Cthulhu Mythos, a fan survey of Lovecraft�s Cthulhu fiction and those who followed in his footsteps.
		A few years later E.P. Berglund asked for permission to revise this booklet, and from that emerged a huge checklist (by Paul) of every professional and amateur Mythos story published through 1974.
		I enjoyed reading what other people had to say about Howard and Lovecraft, my favorite authors, but I really didn�t have enough free time to write anything meaningful myself.

	Middle East Open Encyclopedia: Arthur Machen
		Lovecraft pays tribute to the influence by directly incorporating some of Machen’s creations and references such as Nodens (Cthulhu mythos), and Aklo into his Cthulhu Mythos, and using similar plot lines most notably seen by a comparison of The Dunwich Horror to The Great God Pan.
		Lovecraft’s reading of Machen in the early twenties led him away from his earlier Dunsanyian writing towards the development of what became the Cthulhu Mythos.
		Machen’s use of a contemporary Welsh or a London background in which sinister ancient horrors lurk and are capable of interbreeding with modern people obviously helped inspire Lovecraft’s ideas and towards a similar use of a New England background.

		While none of these stories can claim a place in the Cthulhu Mythos, several do presage its beginnings and offer glimpses of the universe of the Great Old Ones.
		Those looking for "horror" may well be disappointed, as will those seeking an introduction to the Cthulhu Mythos.
		While these stories can surely inspire delight and devotion among new Lovecraft readers, it is my feeling that they can be fully appreciated and understood only by those who are already familiar with Lovecraft's greater body of work.
