Los (Blake)
In the mythological writings of William Blake, Los is the fallen (earthly or human) form of Urthona, one of the four Zoas. He is referred to as the "eternal prophet" and creates the visionary city of Golgonooza. Los is regularly described as a smith, beating with his hammer on a forge, which is metaphorically connected to the beating of the human heart. The bellows of his forge are the human lungs. Los's emanation, Enitharmon, represents spiritual beauty and embodies pity, but at the same time creates the spatial aspect of the fallen world, weaving bodies for men and creating sexual strife through her insistence upon chastity.〔Damon 1988 pp. 124–125〕 In the ''Book of Urizen'' (1794), Los and Enitharmon have the child, Orc, who is the embodiment of the spirit of revolution. It is of interest to note that the name 'Los' is, by common critical acceptance, an anagram of 'Sol', the Latin word for 'sun'. Such innovations are common in many of Blake's prophetic poems.
==Background==
Blake attributed the origin of Los and many of his prophetic works to his home in Lambeth:〔Bentley 2003 pp. 124–125〕 "Los descended to me... trembling I stood... in the Vale of Lambeth; but he kissed me and wished me health".〔Bentley 2003 qtd p. 125〕
