Beliel was a fallen angel who presented himself to and danced before
King Solomon in Das Buch Beliel, by Jacobus de Teramo. In 2
Corinthians, Beliel is cast in the role of Satan when Paul of Tarsus
asks how Christ and Beliel can agree. Victor Hugo, deriving his
description of Beliel from occult mythology, refers to Beliel as hell’s
ambassador to Turkey.
A fuller account of Beliel occurs in John Milton’s Paradise Lost.
When Beliel first appears, Milton declares, “A fairer person lost not
Heav’n: For dignity compos’d and high exploit.” But later the truth is
seen that “all was false and hollow,” and that “a spirit more lewd/ Fell
not from Heav’n,” and that Beliel was indeed “vice itself.”
