Derketo (Conan)
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
Derketo is a goddess worshipped in the Conan the Barbarian series of stories by Robert E. Howard. She is apparently a goddess of death. Derketo is described as being popular in Shem, Stygia, and Kush.
Howard's Derketo may have been based on the historical Aphrodite Derceto or Atargatis of ancient Syria.
Derketo is also a deity appearing in the MMORPG Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures.[1]
