Another work which depicted “the Whore of Babylon” as a character and as a literal (rather than allegorical) prostitute was {{w|Neil Gaiman|Neil Gaiman}} and {{w|Terry Pratchett|Terry Pratchett}}'s comical depiction of the Apocalypse in {{w|Good Omens|''Good Omens''}}, where the seemingly unremarkable aging prostitute and medium “Madame Tracy” ends up present at the climactic scene alongside the Four Horsepeople of the Apocalypse, filling the prophesied part. However, beyond her exceedingly dubious talents as a medium, Madame Tracy is not a supernatural figure, whereas Morningstar's Whore of Babylon character, mentioned alongside such figures as [[Osiris]] and [[Morgan Le Fay]], is implicitly a genuinely “mythical” entity. | Another work which depicted “the Whore of Babylon” as a character and as a literal (rather than allegorical) prostitute was {{w|Neil Gaiman|Neil Gaiman}} and {{w|Terry Pratchett|Terry Pratchett}}'s comical depiction of the Apocalypse in {{w|Good Omens|''Good Omens''}}, where the seemingly unremarkable aging prostitute and medium “Madame Tracy” ends up present at the climactic scene alongside the Four Horsepeople of the Apocalypse, filling the prophesied part.
