In Christian theology, a demon or the angel of the abyss; specifically, a name for Satan or a chief demon mentioned in the Book of Revelation.
From Greek 'Apollyon' (ἀπόλλυων), literally 'the Destroyer,' from 'apollymi' (to destroy). Used in the New Testament (Revelation 9:11) as a Hebraic name for a destructive entity.
Apollyon in Revelation is the Hebrew name Abaddon (also meaning 'Destroyer')—interestingly, both names emphasize destruction rather than the temptation or deception associated with Satan elsewhere in the Bible!
