The rebel angel Shemihazah, or in Aramaic Samyaza, is a character in Jewish mythology of the Second Temple period, notably versions of 1 Enoch 6:3 (c.250-200 BCE) and in the Dead Sea scrolls.〔Jeffrey Burton Russell, ''The Devil: Perceptions of Evil from Antiquity to Primitive Christianity'', 1977. Page 188: "Semyaza is first called their leader in En. 6:3"〕 The name has been recycled repeatedly in popular culture. ==Video games== * Samyaza appears in the role-playing video game ''Final Fantasy XII'' as the Esper Shemhazai. Shemhazai is a female horse-like being who controls the souls of the dead, created in opposition to Igeyorhm the Martyr. Though she once served the gods as a guardian, she plays a role similar to that of Samyaza in revealing to the rebellious Esper Ultima the weaknesses of the gods before attacking the people. * "Semyaza" and five other Grigori may be summoned from imprisonment to fight for the player in ''Dominions 3: The Awakening'', and ''Dominions 4: Thrones of Ascension'' * "Semyaza" also appears as the seven fallen angels in ''El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron''. * "Shemyaza" appears in ''Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers'' as a demon the player's party has to face. He also appears in many other games in the ''Megami Tensei'' series, sometimes as a boss or antagonist, sometimes as a random demon the player runs into or can summon. In ''Soul Hackers'', he is working for another fallen angel, Azazel, who also appears in many of the games in the series. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Samyaza in popular culture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
