Pandemonium and mythologies (spoilers)

[Sefie1999AD]

According to Francis Barrett, Astaroth is the prince of accusers and inquisitors. According to some demonologists of the 16th century, August is the month during which this demon's attacks against humans are stronger. His name seems to come from the goddess ‘Ashtart/Astarte which was rendered in the Latin Vulgate translation of the Bible as Astharthe (singular) and Astharoth (plural), that last form rendered in the King James Version of the Bible of the Bible as Ashtaroth. It seems this plural form was taken either from the Latin or from some translation or other by those who did not know it was a plural form nor knew that it referred to a goddess, seeing it only as a name applied to some god other than God and therefore the name of a devil.

Wasn't Ashtaroth (sp) a city, a kingdom or something like that in the Bible? I also heard from someone that Beelzebub is in bug form in FF2 because he's supposed to be the Lord of the Flies.

EDIT: I checked the link provided by Demerwen Owns, and there were many interesting bits there. I didn't know Behemoth and Adramalech (from FFT) were also originally demons.
