Mammon



Mammon (マモン, Mamon) is a demon in the series.

History
Mammon is a term, derived from the Christian Bible, used to describe material wealth or greed, most often personified as a deity. In the Bible, Mammon is personified in Luke 16:13, and Matthew 6:24, the latter verse repeating Luke 16:13. In some translations, Luke 16:9 and Luke 16:11 also personify mammon; but in others, it is translated as 'dishonest wealth' or equivalent. In some Spanish versions, it is said as "Mamón", but in others, as "Dinero" (Spanish for "money"). Later occultist writings such as De Plancy's Dictionnaire Infernal describe Mammon as Hell's ambassador to England. For Thomas Carlyle in Past and Present, the 'Gospel of Mammonism' became simply a metaphoric personification for the materialist spirit of the nineteenth century. Mammon is also one of the Seven Princes of Hell, each representing the Seven Deadly Sins (Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Envy, Anger and Pride). Mammon represents Greed.
