			==Medieval and Renaissance Europe==
			Apollyon appears in numerous epic poems throughout early the Medieval to the late Renaissance period. European Christians believed that this was one of three deities worshipped by the [[Islam\|Muslims]]. The demon is included in ''Song of Roland'' (1100s) and ''The Pilgrim's Progress'' (1678), where he actively fights the hero.

			The Sola Busca Tarot identifies its [[Knight of Wands]] as Apolino, borrowing from the 1600s Piquet of Charles VII, which based some of its court cards around characters from the ''Song of Roland'' and had Apolino as the Jack of Spades.
