Asmodeus as depicted in Collin de Plancy's Dictionnaire Infernal

Asmodeus (/ˌæzməˈdiːəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἀσμοδαῖος, Asmodaios) or Ashmedai (/ˈæʃmɪ
ˌdaɪ/; Hebrew: ‫ַאשְ מְ ּדָאי‬, ʾAšmədʾāy; see below for other variations), is a prince of demons and hell.
[1] [2][3][4]
 In Judeo-Islamic lore he is the king of both daemons (jinn/shedim) and demons (divs).  Asmodeus
[5]
is mostly known from the deuterocanonical Book of Tobit, in which he is the primary antagonist,  or
the Ars Goetia. In Peter Binsfeld's classification of demons, Asmodeus represents lust. The demon is also
mentioned in some Talmudic legends; for instance, in the story of the construction of the Temple of
Solomon. In Islam, he is identified with the "puppet" mentioned in the Quran, which dethrowned Solomon
and reigned over his kingdom until he got his kingship back.

Etymology[edit]

The figure of Asmodeus in Rennes-le-Château

The name Asmodai is believed to derive from the Avestan *aēšma-daēva (𐬀𐬎𐬎𐬉𐬀𐬛𐬀𐬨𐬴𐬉𐬀*,
*aēṣ̌madaēuua), where aēšma means "wrath", and daēva signifies "demon". While the daēva Aēšma is
thus Zoroastrianism's demon of wrath and is also well-attested as such, the compound aēšma-daēva is
not attested in scripture. It is nonetheless likely that such a form did exist, and that the Book of Tobit's
[6]
"Asmodaios" (Ἀσμοδαῖος) and the Talmud's "Ashmedai" (‫ )אשמדאי‬reflect it.  In
the Zoroastrian and Middle Persian demonology, there did exist the conjuncted form khashm-dev (‫دی‬ + ‫خشم‬
[7]
‫)و‬, where both terms are cognates.
[8][9] [10][11] [12][13] [14]
The spellings Asmodai,  Asmodee (also Asmodée),  Osmodeus,  and Osmodai
[15]
 have also been used. The name is alternatively spelled in the bastardized forms (based on the basic
consonants ‫אשמדאי‬, ʾŠMDʾY) Hashmedai (‫חַ שְ מְ ּדָאי‬, Ḥašmədʾāy; also Hashmodai, Hasmodai,
[16][17][18][19] [20]
Khashmodai, Khasmodai),  Hammadai (‫חַ ַּמ ּדָאי‬, Hammadʾāy; also Khammadai),
[21] [22] [21]
 Shamdon (‫ַׁש מְ ּדֹון‬, Šamdōn),  and Shidonai (‫ִׁש ד ֹנָאי‬, Šīdōnʾāy).  Some traditions have subsequently
[22]
identified Shamdon as the father of Asmodeus.
The Jewish Encyclopedia of 1906 rejects the otherwise accepted etymological relation between the
Persian "Æshma-dæva" and Judaism's "Ashmodai" claiming that the particle "-dæva" could not have
become "-dai" and that Æshma-dæva as such—a compound name—never appears in Persian sacred
texts. Still, the encyclopedia proposes that the "Asmodeus" from the Apocrypha and the Testament of
Solomon are not only related somewhat to Aeshma but have similar behaviour, appearance and roles,
[23]
 to conclude in another article under the entry "Aeshma", in the paragraph "Influence of Persian Beliefs
[24]
on Judaism",  that Persian Zoroastrian beliefs could have heavily influenced Judaism's theology on the
long term, bearing in mind that in some texts there are crucial conceptual differences while in others there
seems to be a great deal of similarity, proposing a pattern of influence over folk beliefs that would extend
further to the mythology itself. However, the Jewish Encyclopedia asserts that although 'Æshma does not
occur in the Avesta in conjunction with dæva, it is probable that a fuller form, such as Æshmo-dæus, has
[25]
existed, since it is paralleled by the later Pahlavi-form "Khashm-dev"'.  Furthermore it is stated that
Asmodeus or Ashmedai "embodies an expression of the influence that the Persian religion or Persian
[26]
popular beliefs have exercised" on Judaism.

In the texts[edit]
In the Hebrew Bible[edit]
The full name "Ashmedai" is not found in the standard Masoretic canon of the Hebrew Bible.
In the Book of Tobit[edit]
The Asmodeus of the Book of Tobit is hostile to Sarah, Raguel's daughter, (Tobit 6:13); and slays seven
successive husbands on their wedding nights, impeding the sexual consummation of the marriages. In
the New Jerusalem Bible translation, he is described as "the worst of demons" (Tobit 3:8). When the
young Tobias is about to marry her, Asmodeus proposes the same fate for him, but Tobias is enabled,
through the counsels of his attendant angel Raphael, to render him innocuous. By placing a fish's heart
and liver on red-hot cinders, Tobias produces a smoky vapour that causes the demon to flee to Egypt,
where Raphael binds him (Tobit 8:2–3). According to some translations, Asmodeus is strangled.
Perhaps Asmodeus punishes the suitors for their carnal desire, since Tobias prays to be free from such
desire and is kept safe. Asmodeus is also described as an evil spirit in general: 'Ασμοδαίος τὸ πονηρὸν
δαιμόνιον or τὸ δαιμόνιον πονηρόν, and πνεῦμα ἀκάθαρτον (Tobit 3:8; Tobit 3:17; Tobit 6:13; Tobit 8:3).
In the Talmud[edit]
The figure of Ashmedai in the Talmud is less malign in character than the Asmodeus of Tobit. In the
former, he appears repeatedly in the light of a good-natured and humorous fellow. But besides that, there
is one feature in which he parallels Asmodeus, in as much as his desires turn upon Bathsheba and
later Solomon's wives.
Another Talmudic legend has King Solomon tricking Asmodai into collaborating in the construction of
[4]
the Temple of Jerusalem  (see: The Story of King Solomon and Ashmedai).
Another legend depicts Asmodai throwing King Solomon over 400 leagues away from the capital by
putting one wing on the ground and the other stretched skyward. He then changed places for some years
[27]
with King Solomon. When King Solomon returned, Asmodai fled from his wrath.  Similar legends can be
found in Islamic lore. Asmodeus is referred to as Sakhr (Arabic: ‫صخر‬ the Rock or the Stony One),
because Solomon banished him into a rock, after he takes his kingdom back from him. He is considered
[28]
to be a king of the jinn or demons (divs).
[29]
Another passage describes him as marrying Lilith, who became his queen.
In the Testament of Solomon[edit]
In the Testament of Solomon, a 1st–3rd century text, the king invokes Asmodeus to aid in the
construction of the Temple. The demon appears and predicts Solomon's kingdom will one day be divided
[30]
(Testament of Solomon, verse 21–25).  When Solomon interrogates Asmodeus further, the king learns
that Asmodeus is thwarted by the angel Raphael, as well as by sheatfish found in the rivers of Assyria. He
also admits to hating water and birds because both remind him of God. Asmodeus claims that he was
born of a human mother and an angel father.
In the Malleus Maleficarum[edit]
[31]
In the Malleus Maleficarum (1486), Asmodeus was considered the demon of lust.  Sebastien
Michaelis said that his adversary is St. John. Some demonologists of the 16th century assigned a month
to a demon and considered November to be the month in which Asmodai's power was strongest. Other
demonologists asserted that his zodiacal sign was Aquarius but only between the dates of January 30
and February 8.
He has 72 legions of demons under his command. He is one of the Kings of Hell under Lucifer the
emperor. He incites gambling, and is the overseer of all the gambling houses in the court of Hell. Some
Catholic theologians compared him with Abaddon. Yet other authors considered Asmodeus a prince of
revenge.
In the Dictionnaire Infernal[edit]
The Dictionnaire Infernal (1818) by Collin de Plancy portrays Asmodeus with the breast of a man,
a cock leg, serpent tail, three heads (one of a man spitting fire, one of a sheep, and one of a bull), riding
a lion with dragon wings and neck - all of these creatures being associated with either lascivity, lust or
[citation needed] [32]
revenge.  The Archbishop of Paris approved the portrait.

In the Lesser Key of Solomon[edit]

Asmodai appears as the king 'Asmoday' in the Ars Goetia, where he is said to have a seal in gold and is
[33]
listed as number thirty-two according to respective rank.
He "is strong, powerful and appears with three heads; the first is like a bull, the second like a man, and
[34]
the third like a ram; the tail of a serpent, and from his mouth issue flames of fire."  Also, he sits upon an
infernal dragon, holds a lance with a banner and, amongst the Legions of Amaymon, Asmoday governs
[33]
seventy-two legions of inferior spirits.

In The Magus[edit]
[35]
Asmodeus is referred to in Book Two, Chapter Eight of The Magus (1801) by Francis Barrett.

Later depictions[edit]
In Christian thought[edit]
[36]
Asmodeus was named in the Order of Thrones by Gregory the Great.
[37]
Asmodeus was cited by the nuns of Loudun in the Loudun possessions of 1634.
Asmodeus' reputation as the personification of lust continued into later writings, as he was known as the
[38]
"Prince of Lechery" in the 16th-century romance Friar Rush.  The French Benedictine Augustin
[38]
Calmet equated his name with a fine dress.  The 16th-century Dutch demonologist Johann
Weyer described him as the banker at the baccarat table in hell, and overseer of earthly gambling
[39]
houses.
In 1641, the Spanish playwright and novelist Luis Velez de Guevara published the satirical novel El diablo
cojuelo, where Asmodeus is represented as a mischievous demon endowed with a playful and satirical
genius. The plot presents a rascal student that hides in an astrologer's mansard. He frees a devil from a
bottle. As an acknowledgement the devil shows him the apartments of Madrid and the tricks, miseries and
[40][41]
mischiefs of their inhabitants.  The French novelist Alain-René Lesage adapted the Spanish source
[38]
in his 1707 novel le Diable boiteux,  where he likened him to Cupid. In the book, he is rescued from an
enchanted glass bottle by a Spanish student Don Cleophas Leandro Zambullo. Grateful, he joins with the
young man on a series of adventures before being recaptured. Asmodeus is portrayed in a sympathetic
[38]
light as good-natured, and a canny satirist and critic of human society.  In another episode Asmodeus
takes Don Cleophas for a night flight, and removes the roofs from the houses of a village to show him the
secrets of what passes in private lives. Following Lesage's work, he was depicted in a number of novels
[42]
and periodicals, mainly in France but also London and New York.
Asmodeus was widely depicted as having a handsome visage, good manners and an engaging nature;
however, he was portrayed as walking with a limp and one leg was either clawed or that of a rooster. He
walks aided by two walking sticks in Lesage's work, and this gave rise to the English title The Devil on
[32]
Two Sticks  (also later translated The Limping Devil and The Lame Devil). Lesage attributes his
[43]
lameness to falling from the sky after fighting with another devil.
On 18 February 1865, author Evert A. Duyckinck sent President Abraham Lincoln a letter, apparently
mailed from Quincy. Duyckinck signed the letter "Asmodeus", with his initials below his pseudonym. His
letter enclosed a newspaper clipping about an inappropriate joke allegedly told by Lincoln at the Hampton
Roads Peace Conference. The purpose of Duyckinck's letter was to advise Lincoln of "an important
omission" about the history of the conference. He advised that the newspaper clipping be added to the
[44]
"Archives of the Nation".

In the Kabbalah[edit]
According to the Kabbalah and the school of Shlomo ibn Aderet, Asmodeus is a cambion born as the
[45]
result of a union between Agrat bat Mahlat, a succubus, and King David.

In Islamic culture[edit]
In Islamic culture, Asmodeus is known as Sakhr (rock), probably a reference to his fate being imprisoned
[46]
inside a box of rock, chained with iron and thrown into the sea.  According Quranic exegesis
on Surah 38:34, Solomon is replaced by a "puppet"; a jinni or demon (div) called Sakhr, impersonating
[47]
the king.  Ibn al-Faqih and Aja'ib al-Makhluqat in his Aja'ib al-Makhluqat refer to Sakhr as a jinni, while
the Persian Quran exegete (224–310 AH; 839–923 AD) Tabari (224–310 AH; 839–923 AD) refers to him
[48]
as a shaitan in his work Annals of al-Tabari.  Others also identify him as a demon (div), which might
have been the Persian term for shaitan as both refer to innovocally evil spirits. After forty days, Solomon
defeats Sakhr and gets his throne back, whereupon he imprisons Sakhr in a rock sealed in iron chains
and throws him into the sea.
[49]
The idea of a spirit in a bottle, released by a fisherman, probably roots in this legend about Solomon.
In the story of Sakhr and Buluqiya, a young Jewish prince, searching for the final Prophet (Muhammad),
Sakhr is said to have reached immortality by drinking from the Well of Immortality, guarded by the
mystical being Khidr. He explains the creation of the world by God, explains God's intention to place
Muhammad wherein and punish the infidels, describing the different layers (ṭabaqāt) of hell and mentions
[50][51][52]
the angels.
