Figures of Turkish Mythology

Erlik Han

Erlik Han is the God of Evil in the mythology of Turks and Altai. Erlik Han is the master of the underworld in Tengriism, the belief of the ancient Turks. (Also called as Yerlik). The Mongols calls him Erleg or Yerleg. Although he is a kind of gin used today as a demon, he is a god of spirit that symbolizes evil. According to a creation legend of the Altai, Erlik Han made a bad fortune against Tengri in the creation of the world, and Tengri made him the master of the underworld as punishment. Erlik Han sits on a silver throne in a palace of green mining on the lowest floor of the underground world. There he created a sun that shone in dark red and gave very little light. There are nine bullheads in his order.
