Aslan the lion (by Maurice Harron (2016), CS Lewis Square, Belfast).
Aslan (/ˈæslæn,ˈæz-/) is a major character in C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia series. Unlike any other character in the Narnian series, Aslan appears in all seven chronicles.[1] Aslan is depicted as a talking lion and is described as the King of Beasts, the son of the Emperor-Over-the-Sea,[2] and the King above all High Kings in Narnia.[3]
C.S. Lewis often capitalizes the word lion in reference to Aslan since he parallels Jesus as the "Lion of Judah" in Christian theology.[4] The word aslan means "lion" in Turkish.[4][5]
