<div>However, Pas's role in Short Sun is a little more complicated...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My interpretation is that the Short Sun is (inter alia) about the Outsider's long game of converting Pas into a reasonable facsimile of Himself. <br></div>

<br></div>Or to put it even another way:<br>A demiurge is a god who presents himself as The God. He's yet he is the creator of the world, worshipping him does not lead to salvation/enlightenment.<br>The Antichrist (or in some cases, no doubt, an antichrist) is a MAN who presents himself as God.<br>
<br>Obviously, the very creation of Pas as an object of worship would be something an antichrist would do.<br>But Typhon *did* create the Whorl. He is never overthrown from his creation. In fact, Silk and Auk help to place him back on his throne.<br>
<br>So Typhon/Pas (and I heard Wolfe say last September that they are absolutely equivalent) is a demiurge not The Antichrist of the New Testament.
