Beelzebub: From Ancient God to Lord of the Flies

Before Beelzebub became one of the most feared names in demonology, his story may have begun with an ancient deity worshipped in the city of Ekron. In this episode of The Hidden Abyss, we explore the origins of Beelzebub, the mysterious meaning behind the title Lord of the Flies, his transformation from an ancient religious figure into a powerful prince of demons, and the role he later played in Christian demonology, possession stories, occult traditions, and popular culture. Was Beelzebub always considered a demon? Was his original identity deliberately transformed by religious conflict? And how did one ancient name survive for thousands of years to become a symbol of darkness? Descend with us into the history, legends, and mysteries surrounding Beelzebub.
