Beelzebub, often referred to as the "Lord of the Flies," is a prominent figure in various religious and mythological texts. In Christian demonology, he is considered one of the chief demons and is associated with gluttony and pride. The name is derived from the ancient deity Baal, worshipped in the region of Canaan, and has evolved to symbolize evil and temptation. In literature, Beelzebub appears in works such as John Milton's "Paradise Lost," where he is depicted as a fallen angel and a leader among the rebellious angels. His character often embodies chaos and moral corruption, serving as a representation of the darker aspects of human nature and the struggle between good and evil.
