== Greek influence == The most obvious Greek influence is Solomon's encounter with seven demons who are sisters. They introduce themselves to the king and describe their home among the stars and [[Mount Olympus]]. The seven demon-sisters represent the [[Pleiades (Greek mythology)|Pleiades]] of Greek mythology and their astrological relationship. Solomon also encounters a female demon called Obizuth, who has no limbs and a head full of disheveled hair. It is argued that she actually represents [[Medusa]] or a gorgon-like creature from Greek mythology.<ref>Conybeare, F.C. ''The Testament of Solomon'', The Jewish Quarterly Review, Vol. 11, No. 1, (Oct.,1898)p. 30</ref> The demon Enepsigos recounts to King Solomon at one point during the temple's construction that he can take three different physical forms, one of which being the Greek [[Titan (mythology)|Titan]] [[Cronus|Kronos]]. Enepsigos is also represented as a triple-faced woman akin to [[Hecate]] and is likewise astrologically associated with the sphere of the moon.
