I have started to pick through my copy of the Cthulhu Mythos Encyclopedia. There is more material here than I what to do with.
The Necronomicon is one of several texts mentioned in H. P. Lovecraft’s writings; this purported text, like the rest mentioned in his works are fictional in nature are are all part of the Cthulhu Mythos.
There are many writings included in the manuscript including the following couplet and translation.
A famous couplet:
“That is not dead which can eternal lie,And with strange eons even death may die.”
In the original Arabic, it is translated as:
“That thing is not dead which has the capacity to continue to exist eternally,
And it the abnormal (bizarre, strange) ones (things, times) come, then death may cease to be.”
