Eibon / 伊波恩
Eibon / 伊波恩 is a sorcerer figure discussed in 73.虚境奇谭:恐怖+幽默=最好的克苏鲁 through Clark Ashton Smith / C.A.史密斯’s more comic and adventurous mythos stories. The episode describes him as a great wizard connected with the Book of Eibon and with 萨托古雅, whose help allows him to flee religious persecution through a gate to Saturn.
The episode’s Eibon material matters because it complicates a simple horror-only image of the Cthulhu Mythos / 克苏鲁神话. His escape, forced coexistence with pursuer Morghi, encounter with Saturnian residents, and mistaken prophecy all belong to Horror-Humor Weird Fiction as much as to cosmic terror.
Key Claims
- Eibon anchors the episode’s relatively “optimistic” Smith story thread.
- His friendship with Tsathoggua / 萨托古雅 shows Smith’s mythos figures as sources of strange aid as well as threat.
- His Saturn exile turns doctrinal persecution into absurd survival comedy.
- The episode uses him to show that Clark Ashton Smith Story Worlds can move from ancient fantasy into planetary displacement.
