Talk:Crom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


I have an issue with this article. Crom was a real Pagan deity, Crom Cruich or Crom of the Mound. I don't have enough information to edit the article, but there are strong links with Ireland, and, if I remember correctly with an existing geographical feature from which the name "of the mound" is derived!

The article mentions that Howard's Crom was inspired by Crom Cruich. When Robert Howard created the fictional Hyborian Age, it was stated that the land of Cimmeria was inspired by Ireland and Britain while under Celtic control, even though the land sounds more like some part of ancient Scandanavia to me.

Also, if you will take the pain to look, you'll discover that the historical Crom Cruach does have his own page. I knew what I was doing when I created this one. Svartalf 17:32, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
