Myths : A medieval legend tells how Belphegor set forth from hell to investigate rumours concerning the happiness and misery of married coupled on earth. For a while he lived among men, imitating all the intimacies that men experienced. He is said to have fled back to hell in horror, happy that intercourse between men and women did not exist there. This is the reason why the name of Belphegor is sometimes applied to misogynists and licentious men.
