Everything about Pand Monium Paradise Lost totally explained
Pandæmonium is the capital of
Hell in the
epic poem Paradise Lost by the
17th century English poet
John Milton.
"
Pandæmonium" (
American English "
Pandemonium") is stemmed from
Greek ("παν" meaning "all" or "every" + δαιμόνιον meaning "little spirit" or "little angel" or as Christians interpreted it, "little daemon," and later, "demon." The word roughly translates to All Demons), it's the name invented by
John Milton for the capital of
Hell, "the High Capital, of
Satan and his
Peers", built by the fallen angels at the suggestion of
Mammon at the end of Book I,
Paradise Lost (1667). A comparison in meaning can be made with "pantheon" which refers to all of the gods. Book II begins with the debate among the
demons in the council-chamber of Pandemonium. The demons built it in about an hour, but it far surpassed all human palaces or dwellings; it may have been small, though, since the demons are described as shrinking from their titanic size in order to fit in.
