Details

Chthonic designates, or pertains to, deities or spirits of the underworld, especially in relation to Greek religion. Greek khthon is one of several words for "earth"; it typically refers to the interior of the soil, rather than the living surface of the land (as Gaia or Ge does) or the land as territory (as khora ( ) does). It evokes at once abundance and the grave. The pronunciation is somewhat awkward for English speakers. Most dictionaries, such as the OED, state that the first two letters should be pronounced as [k], / k n k/; others, such as the AHD, record these letters as silent, / n k/. Note that the modern pronunciation of the Greek word " " is [x onios], although the Classical Greek pronunciation would have been something similar to [k t onios].
