The Great Battle
[August Derleth's Cthulhu Mythos]
The battle between the Elder Gods (1) and the Great Old Ones (3) took place long ago:
Long before human beings walked the earth, the conflict between the Elder Gods and the Great Old Ones had taken place . . . [Dweller]
. . . that titanic battle which must have taken place aeons ago . . . [Island]
The battle involved many stars, planets, and even whole universes:
". . . I took a listener’s part in their discussion of events beyond my ken—not alone of Cthulhu and Hastur, and their minions, or of the others, not alone of the Elder Gods and that titanic battle which must have taken place aeons ago and involved countless universes." [Island]
It [the Necronomicon] was a book filled with cabalistic lore, incantations, and what purported to be an account of a great interplanetary battle between the Elder Gods and the Ancient Ones [Great Old Ones 3] and of the survival of cults and servitors in isolated and remote places on our planet as well as on sister planets. [Witches]
. . . the Ancient Ones [Great Old Ones 3]—almost inconceivable beings of dread who had fought against the Elder Gods in their far place among the stars of Orion and Taurus . . . [Keeper]
The battle lasted for centuries:
The Great Old Ones fought these evil beings for possession of the Earth, and after many centuries, they conquered. [Lair]
Eventually, the Elder Gods were victorious:
. . . the Elder Gods, who fought and vanquished the rebellious Ancient Ones [Great Old Ones 3] . . . [Seal]
