The Nameless, Shapeless Uncertainty of Demogorgon

Panel: 
Folklore and Mythology
Abstract: 

Modern scholarship derives Demogorgon from Plato’s demiurge or identifies similarities with Paul’s “Unknown God.” Both types of divinity are alien to the Greco-Roman pantheon and converged as a unique, unknown or unknowable, unspeakable or nameless, formless or invisible, powerful divinity.
