Agares

(Revision as of 09:54, 18 Nov 2005)

In demonology, according to some authors, Agares (or Agaures) is a Prince, ruling the eastern zone of Hell, and being served by 30 legions of demons.

Other sources, among them The Lesser Key of Solomon and Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, say that he is a Grand Duke and has 31 legions under his command, and adds that he can make runaways come back, and those who run stand still. He can also cause earthquakes, and teaches languages finding pleasure in teaching immoral expressions, and has too the power to destroy dignities, both temporal and supernatural. He is among the more benevolent of demon lords.

He is depicted as a pale old man riding a crocodile and with a hawk on his fist.
