Anamelech
Anamelech
An obscure demon, the bearer of ill news. In ancient times he was worshiped at Sepharvaün, a town of the Assyrians. He always revealed himself in the figure of a quail. His name, it is said, signified a "good king," and some authorities declare that this demon was the Moon, as Andramelech is the Sun.
