The most obvious Greek influence is Solomon's encounter with seven demons who are sisters. They introduce themselves to the king and describe their home among the stars and Mount Olympus. The seven demon-sisters represent the Pleiades of Greek mythology and their astrological relationship. | The most obvious Greek influence is Solomon's encounter with seven demons who are sisters.

The demon Enepsigos recounts to King Solomon at one point during the temple's construction that he can take three different physical forms, one of which being the Greek Titan Kronos. Enepsigos is also represented as a triple-faced woman akin to Hecate and is likewise astrologically associated with the sphere of the moon. | The demon Enepsigos recounts to [[King Solomon]] at one point during the temple's construction that he can take three different physical forms, one of which being the Greek Titan Kronos.

Solomon also encounters a female demon called [[Obizuth]], who has no limbs and a head full of disheveled hair, this is likely a reference to the [[Egyptian decans]], which were commonly known as "the disheveled" because their hair had been messed by the sun god Rē when he grabbed them after their rebellion. | Solomon also encounters a female demon called [[Obizuth]], who has no limbs and a head full of disheveled hair, this is likely a reference to the [[Egyptian decans]], which were commonly known as "the disheveled" because their hair had been messed by the sun god Rē when he grabbed them after their rebellion. | ||
