Herr des Lichts

Zelazny's use of mythological figures in a futuristic setting is so unique. I'm curious whether this was influenced by personal interests or a specific mythological tradition.

The gods in the story are powerful but often morally ambiguous. It made me wonder if Zelazny was commenting on real-world power structures and ethics.

Many characters undergo significant changes, blurring lines between human and divine. I’d love to hear thoughts on what Zelazny might be saying about selfhood.
