WHILE IT REMAINS HARD TO FIND THIS STORY SHOWN TO ME IN 2008, I HAVE GOTTEN CLOSER

August Derleth[edit]
Many other Mythos writers have referred to Azathoth in their stories. August Derleth, in his novel The Lurker at the Threshold, depicts the entity as a leader in a cosmic upheaval akin to Lucifer's rebellion in Christian mythology. In a passage attributed to the Necronomicon of Abdul Alhazred, Derleth writes:
(T)hose daring to oppose the Elder Gods who ruled from Betelgueze, the Great Old Ones who fought against the Elder Gods...were instructed by Azathoth, who is the blind idiot god, and by Yog-Sothoth....[17]
In another passage, Derleth quotes a prophecy:
(Y)e blind idiot, ye noxious Azathoth shal arise from ye middle of ye World where all is Chaos & Destruction where He hath bubbl'd and blasphem'd at Ye centre which is of All Things, which is to say Infinity....
The Elder Gods punished Azathoth by rendering him mindless and blind, according to Derleth.
