Beelzebub, the name of a demon or devil, derived from Bible translations of Greek, Hebrew, and Assyrian words denoting ‘fly-lord’, ‘lord of the high house’, but understood from NT times as ‘lord of the underworld’. He accompanies Lucifer in Marlowe's
Dr Faustus;
Milton gives the name to one of the fallen angels, next to Satan in power (
Paradise Lost) and Golding adopted one version of it for the title
Lord of the Flies.
