Chthonic gods
Chthonic divinities are associated with the earth and/or underworld.
Usually they are fertility gods and/or rulers of the dead, and the
opposites of the sky gods. Due to their rather "Demonic Appearance,"
their cults are usually surrounded with much mystery. Some chthonic gods
are for instance: the Egyptian Anubis, the Greek Hades, the Roman Mars,
the Etruscan Voltumna, and the Hindu Yakshas.
The word comes from the Greek chtonios, which means
"of, in, or under the earth.".......

I've lost the YoungStar Competition in 1989.
I've spent two years to pass the Entrance Exam of Graduated
School at NTU.
Over three times, I have been rejected by IEEE's journal editors.
I've failed over and over again in my life.
That's why I'm a loser......
