"Ba‘al Zebûb or Ba‘al Zəvûv (Hebrew בעל זבוב, with numerous variants[1]) appears as the name of a deity worshipped in the Philistine city of Ekron.

In ancient contexts, there appears to have been little, if any, meaningful distinction between Beelzebub and the polytheistic Semitic god named Ba‘al. Monotheistic Jewish reference to Baal was almost certainly pejorative, and grew to be used among other terms for Satan. Hence the name also later appears as the name of a demon or devil, often interchanged with Beelzebul."

And it's so easy to pictiure Ianna with wings and a Halo, and Post with devil horns and a forked tail.

Am not.

He's the Prince of Demons, according to some as well. You can see him in The Wish List.

So back on topic....

The Shurtugal podcast, my friend informed me, recommend the Bartimaeus Trilogy to people.

In quite a lot of literature, Beelzebub is Satan's "left-handman". His second in command, possibly another fallen angel.
I say night I'm living in the forest of my dream,
I know the night is not as it would seem,
I must believe in something,
So I'll make myself believe it,
That this night will never go.

He's like Mephistopheles. Added as a bogey man in later Medieval literature.

Did I say that I ever listened to my good side?
I say night I'm living in the forest of my dream,
I know the night is not as it would seem,
I must believe in something,
So I'll make myself believe it,

Artemis is big on missy. It's like my second name. :rolleyes:

Annoying? Yes!
There is a sort of busy worm,
That will the fairest book deform,
Their tasteless tooth will tear and taint
The poet, patiot,sage or saint,
Nor sparing wit nor learning.
Now, if you'd know the reason why,
The best of reasons I'll supply;
'Tis bread to this poor vermin.
