We interrupt your scheduled series for a pretzel rebus

Question

What does this rebus, drawn with pretzels, say? (This is what happens when I get bored with pretzels on the table... ;P)

_{Note: The 'scheduled series' mentioned is this. It still needs to be solved! Finally solved by @randal'thor! :D}

Overall picture:

Individual pictures:

Note: That black dot in the second one is not important.

Last question: Are you sure the deer on the right isn't actually suppossed to be a hind? :P (You don't have to answer it, I'm not sure if it's appropriate to ask for hints so early) — , Aug 20 '16 at 19:22
@LukasRotter With Zeus, you're on the right track. It's not Zeus, though, but it's related to that kinda thing. — Mithical, Aug 20 '16 at 19:29
I wasn't actually seriously suggesting it was. The style just seemed similar in a way that amused me. — Gareth McCaughan, Aug 20 '16 at 20:48
Do we need a pretzels-tag now? ;c) @Mithrandir Be careful, or your name is becoming 'cat' soon... — BmyGuest, Aug 22 '16 at 08:51
Sorry, you might not know. There was a time when a special set of riddles always ended up having the same (cat) solution and it became a sort of meme. — BmyGuest, Aug 22 '16 at 09:37
@BmyGuest Ah, okay. I'm sort of new still (50 days), so I didn't know. :P — Mithical, Aug 22 '16 at 09:40
@BmyGuest Ha! I'm glad someone else here still remembers the 'cat' riddles :-D — Rand al'Thor, Sep 08 '16 at 16:33

The first panel shows

a god and a small human, therefore the panel stands for myth.

The second panel shows

a running human, therefore the panel stands for run. However the backwards pointing indicates that the word should be in past tense, so the panel ultimately stands for ran. (Thanks to @CWoods)

The third panel shows

a deer

Now,

say the three words out loud and you'll have the final solution: Mithrandir

Very nice, seems like the right answer. It seems that maybe there is an arrow in the second panel (since the guy seems to have two arms in front of him), so maybe the backwards arrow indicates the word should be in past tense? – C. Woods Aug 20 '16 at 20:58
Ah, ok. Wasn't sure about the proper pronounciation, as I'm not a native speaker. I'll add it to the answer. – Christoph Aug 20 '16 at 20:59
Was confused what the answer meant until I looked at the poster's username. – bb216b3acfd8f72cbc8f899d4d6963 Aug 31 '16 at 00:11
