Mephistopheles

Mephistopheles (, (:mefɪˈstɔfɛlɛs); also ''Mephistophilus, Mephistophilis, Mephostopheles, Mephisto, Mephastophilis'' and variants) is a demon featured in German folklore. He originally appeared in literature as the demon in the Faust legend, and he has since appeared in other works as a stock character.
==Etymology==
The word may derive from the Hebrew ''mephitz'', meaning "someone who spreads something" , and ''chaddy'', meaning "liar". the literal translation of which is "lies spreader" or "false teller" . The name can also be a combination of three Greek words: "me" as a negation, "phos" meaning light, and "philis" meaning loving, making it mean "not-light-loving", possibly parodying the Latin "Lucifer" or "light-bearer".〔The Broadview Anthology of British Literature Volume 2: The Renaissance and Early Seventeenth Century, Second Edition, ''The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus''pg. 423 (see footnote 11) ISBN 978-1-55481-028-4〕
