Of or relating to subterranean or underground realms; chthonic, especially as applied to ancient deities and mythology.
Variant of catachthonian, using the -ic suffix instead of -ian, derived from Greek katachthonios. Both forms are used interchangeably in mythological texts.
Catachthonic worship in ancient cultures often involved rituals at night or in caves—societies believed these underground and dark places connected them to the raw, primal forces of the earth and the afterlife.
