"Agares" (Demon #2)

King Agares (Agreas). The Second Demon from the 'Ars Goetia'.

                               "Agares" (Demon #2)

I am Agares the grand duke, ruling the eastern zones of hell/
I can make runaways come back, & make run those who stand still
I have the power to destroy dignities, both temporal and supernatural/
I teach languages and find pleasure, in teaching expressions of immoral
As I ride upon my crocodile, the spirit of a little old man/
The governor of 31 legions, I appear with a goshawk on my hand
My zodiac sign is Aries, and my tarot is that of the three wands/
From the order of virtue, I can make all the earth's spirits dance
My day is the element of fire, yet mild in appearance and pale/
But don't let my looks deceive you, as I am not feeble nor frail
I control powerful people in hell, who have their eyes upon your soul/
And that's all I'm willing to tell you, because my story musn't be told.

The world of demons sure is an interesting one... There are so many stories left untold perhaps. It's a pity, for myths and legends are so fascinating subjects, but, alas, the sheer mass of supernaturals is intimidating.
Thank you for taking the time to introduce at least some demons.
Good job and again, well written!

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

It sure is my friend. That is very true, too many in my opinion.
You are more than welcome, I am happy that you are enjoying these pieces :)

[Nath]

Indeed, it's a shame and a pity.
And I'm very happy that I am able to!

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

More demons yet to be discovered. WOOT WOOT!!!! :3 I think this one is my favorite ^-^

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

There's seventy two main Demons, plus thousands of others considered lesser spirits (legions). All of these have their own unique personalities and gifts :)

Whoa...O.O

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

... as for their names, I haven't a clue lol

[quinfinn]

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

[Sirius King]

very informal series
I've never heard of most of the demons
and you've done a great job at explaining them
in their own point of view
,,,its really creative...great job!

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

Thank you so much.
Nor had I previous to researching up on all seventy two, but I am glad I did. A very interesting bunch of characters, I'm sure you will agree.
I'm really pleased you've enjoyed what you have read so far.
Thanks again :)

Now I know something else I did't know. I love learning of all these deities and devils.

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

Wow. I'm glad you're enjoying my poetry :)

[Marie]

I really am. I really like learning these things--and in a poetic way.

[Ars Goetia Poetry]
