What I find odd about Lewis’s Narnia is that while it is designed as an introduction to Christianity, it relies to a great degree on classical pagan figures like fauns, satyrs, dryads, Bacchus, etc.
Of course this may merely reflect the familiarity with Greco-Roman culture which is an adjunct of traditional British public-school education.
Aren’t all of these creatures subordinate to the Christ figure in the story though?
