Boccaccio's "Demogorgon" is mentioned as a "primal" god in quite a few Renaissance texts, and impressively glossed "Demon-Gorgon," i.e., "Terror-Demon" or "God of the Earth". The French historian and mythographer Jean Seznec, for instance, now determines in "Demogorgon" an allusion to the Demiurge ("Craftsman" or "Maker") of Plato's "Timaeus." For a remarkable early text identifying Ovid's Demiurge (1/1, here) as "sovereign Demogorgon", see the paraphrase of "Metamorphoses" I in Abraham France, "The third part of the Countesse of Pembrokes Yuychurch" (London, 1592), sig. A2v."
