	# {{Note\|Harms-228}} In Lovecraft's fiction, the term "[[Old One]]s" is used in different contexts. In his short story "The Call of Cthulhu" (the first mythos story to mention the "Great Old Ones"), Lovecraft alternately used "Old Ones" in place of "Great Old Ones"—although in this context, the name referred to [[Cthulhu\|Cthulhu's spawn]] (Harms, "Great Old Ones", ''The Encyclopedia Cthulhiana'', pp. 128). In Lovecraft's ''[[At the Mountains of Madness]]'', "Old Ones" referred to the [[Antarctic]]-based [[Elder Thing]]s. In "[[The Dunwich Horror (fiction)]]", Lovecraft named the "Old Ones" as beings associated with [[Yog-Sothoth]]. In Lovecraft's revision story "[[The Mound (fiction)]]", the term "Old Ones" referred to the denizens of [[K'n-yan]]. Nonetheless, despite its varied usages, "Old Ones" more commonly refers to the Great Old Ones or the Elder Things.
