Seven princes of Hell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The seven princes of Hell are, in Christian demonology tradition, the seven highest demons in Hell.
The seven demon princes can be seen as Hell's equivalent to the Seven Archangels of Heaven.
Often, each demon prince corresponds to one of the seven deadly sins. As with the seven Archangels, a definitive list is hard to find, with different religious traditions and sects offering different names. Often considered an authoritative list, the demon princes according to Peter Binsfield, a Jesuit, written in 1589, are as follows:
- Lucifer - Pride
- Mammon - Greed
- Asmodeus - Lust
- Satan - Wrath
- Beelzebub (also called Baal) - Gluttony
- Leviathan - Envy
- Belphegor - Vanity and Sloth[1]
