- This article is about the demon. For the deity that was worship in Assyria, see Adrammelech (Deity).
Adramelech is considered a demon in some Judeo-Christian traditions. He was originally a deity worshipped by Assyrians until Judeo-Christians demonized the figure.
Overview[]
He appears in John Milton's Paradise Lost, where Adramelech is a fallen angel who, along with Asmodeus, is vanquished by Uriel and Raphael.
According to Collin de Plancy's book on demonology, the Infernal Dictionary, Adramelech became the President of the Senate of the demons. He is also the Chancellor of Hell and supervisor of Satan's wardrobe. Adramelech is generally depicted with a human torso, a mule's head, a peacock tail, and the limbs of a mule or peacock.
In the Ars Goetia, he was known as Andrealphus.
Adramelech in the Dictionnaire Infernal[]
The Infernal Dictionary is a book of demonology written in 1818 by the French occultist Jacques Auguste Simon Collin de Plancy. The entry for Adramelech is as follows:
| “ | Adramelech, high chancellor of the underworld, steward of the wardrobe of the sovereign of the demons, President of the high council of devils. He was worshipped in Sepharvaim, a city of the Assyrians, who burned children on his altars. The rabbis say that he appears in the form of a mule, and sometimes in that of a peacock.[1] | ” |
