Howard Phillips LOVECRAFT, author of horrific, fantastic and science fiction stories, is the creator of a rich mythology nourished by the texts of Hesiod and ancient mythologies. His fictional extraterrestrial entities are considered by the weak humans in his stories as gods to be worshipped and especially feared. Let us study the cosmogony and the bestiary constitutive of this cosmic and materialistic universe. Whether it is Azathoth, Yog Sothoth, Nyarlathotep, Shub Niggurat or Cthulhu, these titanic creatures echo recurrent concepts in mythologies and the approach of the monster in its globality. Subjectivity, power of evocation and use of science are the tools used by Lovecraft to build what is called the Cthulhu Mythos.
