Pithius

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In demonology, and according to Francis Barrett, Pithius is a demon with the rank of prince of the liar spirits and demons.

He is depicted as a serpent, and perhaps his name was a corruption of the word pythoness an ancient Greek female diviner, inspired by some deity.

Other spellings: Pytho, Pythius.
