Origin

According to the Dictionnaire Infernal, Thamuz is a demon associated with fire and the inventor of artillery and women's bracelets,^[1] and he is hell's ambassador to Spain.^[2] The book also states that some scholars believe the "burned demon" Adonis to be the same as Thamuz.^[3]

The demon Thamuz's name is presumably derived from Dumuzid, a Mesopotamian deity of agriculture and shepherds, who is referred to as Tammuz in Hebrew and is mentioned under that name in the Book of Ezekiel. The Greek figure Adonis is believed by scholars to be derived from Dumuzid, with both having similar narratives of being in the underworld for part of each year.

Design
