Aslan
Aslan ( or ) is the main character of C. S. Lewis's ''The Chronicles of Narnia'' series. He is "the great Lion" of ''The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'' and his role in Narnia is developed throughout the remaining books. He is also the only character to appear in all seven books of the series. ''Aslan'' is Turkish for "lion".〔(Langenscheidt Pocket Turkish Dictionary )〕〔 Lewis often capitalises the word ''lion'' in reference to Aslan, since, at least partially, he represents Jesus Christ.〔The Collected Letters of C.S. Lewis, vol iii, p 160: "I found the name ()...it is the Turkish for Lion. ... And of course it meant the Lion of Judah."〕
Aslan is depicted as a talking lion, the King of Beasts, son of the Emperor-Over-the-Sea, the king of Narnia; a wise, compassionate, magical authority (both temporal and spiritual); mysterious and benevolent guide to the human children who visit; guardian and saviour of Narnia. The author, C. S. Lewis, described Aslan as an alternative version of Christ; that is, as the form in which Christ might have appeared in a fantasy world.
Throughout the series, it is stated that Aslan is "not a tame lion", since, despite his gentle and loving nature, he is powerful and can be dangerous. He has many followers, including humans, talking beasts, and mythological creatures such as Centaurs, Fauns, Dryads, Dwarfs, Satyrs, Naiads, Hamadryads, Mermaids, Sylvans, Unicorns, and Winged Horses.
