The term "Cimmerian" is employed in literature to evoke a sense of profound darkness and ancient, often foreboding, mystique. Writers use it both literally and metaphorically: sometimes to depict physical or atmospheric darkness—as in oppressive nights or gloomy landscapes ([1], [2], [3])—and other times to convey an archaic, almost mythic quality through associations with ancient lands and tribes ([4], [5], [6]). It is also applied to characterize individuals or groups, whether to stress a rugged, untamed barbarism or to highlight unique, storied attributes, such as the legendary figure of Conan the Cimmerian ([7], [8]). Thus, "Cimmerian" serves as a versatile epithet, linking the tangible absence of light with more abstract notions of mystery, foreboding, and historical gravitas ([9], [10], [11]).
