This exhaustive volume catalogs nearly three thousand demons in the
mythologies and lore of virtually every ancient society and most
religions. From Aamon, the demon of life and reproduction with the
head of a serpent and the body of a wolf in Christian demonology,
to Zu, the half-man, half-bird personification of the southern wind
and thunder clouds in Sumero-Akkadian mythology, entries offer
descriptions each demon's origins, appearance, and cultural
significance. Also included are descriptions of the demonic and
diabolical members making up the hierarchy of Hell and the numerous
species of demons that, according to various folklores,
mythologies, and religions, populate the earth and plague mankind.
