Yeah, that's probably my favorite sci Fi novel of all time as well.

I don't really consider mythological references a real connection, just because that is so commonplace in fantasy. Though Lord of Light is certainly similar there.

I honestly don't remember the scenes being the same that you referenced, but it's been a long time since I read American Gods (since it came out basically), and I think I may have read it before I read Lord of Light.

Corwin is just so awesome and Shadow is such a bland, boring character I have a hard time making a comparison.
