About This Quote
CHORONZON - CHORONZON was the Greek personification of the god of dreams, sleep, death, and the underworld. He also represented the essential nature of chaos. The name Choronzon was derived from the greek words "khrôros" (meaning "black") and "nêsos" (meaning "the underworld"). He was often depicted as having a malevolent appearance, in a form of a black dragon-like creature with a malevolent grin.
The name is probably related to the greek word "khronos", which means "time". In later times, his image became associated with that of a horned devil, in a form of a goat or ram with three heads. Different from these depictions, when Aleister Crowley wrote about him in his Holy Books in 1904 he described him as having a more benevolent appearance, wearing robes and holding books.
In this way, he is very similar to the modern depiction of the Devil better known by his Latin name Lucifer. MORPHEUS - MORPHEUS was the Greek personification of dreams and memory. He was also known as one of closest friends of Choronzon and attended his court in Hell. He served as an adviser to the ruler of Hell and helped Choronzon spread chaos throughout Creation.
He is very often portrayed as being very handsome and charming with many women falling for him due to his apparent kindness towards them. However, he has been known to be cruel and merciless towards those who have wronged him or have angered him. He is depicted as wearing white robes and sometimes holding a book with wings on it or riding on an eagle-like creature while bearing a whip or something similar in his hand while carrying a staff that seems to be made of three snakes twined around each other like an inverted swastika while wielding it like a lance against enemies like enemies of Choronzon during conflicts on Earth.
