Set was the chief deity a serpent-god or “arch-demon” of the Stygian people in Robert E. Howard’s stories of Conan the barbarian in the Hyborian Age. He is apparently an amalgam of the name of the Egyptian god Set and the appearance and characteristics of the Egyptian monster Apep and the Greek mythological figure the Lernaean Hydra. This interpretation of the figure may have been influenced by H. P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos.
