Due to this they are sometimes referred to as ‘god-kings.’Īt the end of Children of Dune, Leto II says “I’m a community dominated by one who was ancient and surprisingly powerful. In Egyptian antiquity the pharaohs were seen as incarnations of the god Horus (although some speculate that the pharaohs were believed to be gods on earth, descended from Horus).

In India, God Emperor or "Chakravartin" is a title of a mystical figure which is said to cross the boundaries of several castes, and is therefore able to change the course of history/time. This title is incorporated into the name of the novel God Emperor of Dune without the hyphen. During his life Leto II's enemies referred to him as The Tyrant, and it was by this title that history better remembered him. The title did not endure well after his death. The title reflects both his status as ruler of multiple galaxies, and the formidable prescience he acquired after his transformation into a human- sandworm hybrid. God-Emperor is the title associated with Leto Atreides II after he ascended to the throne of the Atreides Empire. This article or section refers to elements from Original Dune.
