Morax (demon)
In demonology, Morax is a Demon, Great Earl, and President of Hell, having thirty legions of demons under his command. He teaches Astronomy and all other liberal sciences, and gives good and wise familiars that know the virtues of all herbs and precious stones. This profile of the demon can be seen in Pseudomonarchia Daemonum as well as in Goetia.
He is depicted both as a man with the head of a bull, as well as a bull with the head of a man.
It has been proposed that Morax is related to the Minotaur which Dante places in Hell. See Fred Gettings, Dictionary of Demons
His name seems to come from Latin 'morax', that delays, that.
Other spellings: Foraii, Marax, Farax.
