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 [[ClarkAshtonSmith|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 [[Tsathoggua|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 [[CthulhuMythos|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.
