In the novel God Emperor of Dune by Frank P. Herbert, tyrant Leto II binds his faithful guard Nayla to rebel Siona by a vow of obedience. At the end of the novel, Nayla will inadvertently take part in the killing of her most loved emperor by allowing Siona to act, and thereby fulfilling the will of the god. In this bond between Leto II, Nayla and Siona there is a predestination that recalls the bond between Christ and Judas. By referring to analytical psychology, the aim of this work is to demonstrate how the Jungian archetype of Christ lies underneath Leto II's way of acting. Leto, with his monstrous physicality and with his psychic and divinatory skills, represents all the main Jungian archetypes that take turns in the individuation process: he is Shadow (he is at the same time the deviland the god creator); he is Anima (he has the memories of his mother Chani, his grandmother Jessica, and can speak with their voice); he is Syzygia (he marries his sister Ghanima); he is a representation of the Self through the archetype of Christ.
