It was Edgar Allan Poe's almost a hundred years before Lovecraft used it. But Lovecraft mentioned Poe's usage, so he didn't plagiarize. Instead he implied that Poe knew something about the Mythos, information he found in some "quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore." In both cases it deals with something weird in the Antarctic region.
