YMMV / Promethea

Go To

  • Genius Bonus: The demons Solomon sends to kill Sophie when she becomes the next Promethea are all clearly based off of the demons from Ars Goetia, many of their physical appearances matching the descriptions of the 72 demons in it. These demons were allegedly the demons that were bound by Ham and Solomon (as in King Solomon) to do the will of God. While it is expressly said that the Solomon from the comic is not the Biblical king of legend (as the King Solomon used to judge the trial looks like Solomon for Sophie's benefit), the parallels were likely deliberate. It especially helps that Aleister Crowley (who's entire gnostic career was the primary inspiration for Promethea) helped publish The Lesser Key of Solomon.
