The Seven Princes of Hell (and their 7 deadly sins)

You will have likely heard of the seven deadly sins, a famed classification of vices or behavioural traits commonly perceived as the most negative. But did you know that according to some scholars, these seven sins are each personified by a particular demon, a prince of hell to be more precise. So, who were these lords of sin, and what did they represent? Let’s find out together...

me after writing this comment: some bad shit is going to happen to me.

My question is, why do these demons punish the respective sins if...
1. They invented/they enjoy the sin, and
2. They're guilty of it themselves?
Seriously, has God never heard of irony?

[kamarmason]

When he described the demon of sloth. I swear he was describing me, I have to change....

I love your channel! The artwork along with the storytelling really is captivating. I just discovered your channel a week ago or so, and have already binge watched nearly every video. Keep up the great work!

[FeralWench]

My favorite channel on mythical beings! I love how you tell each story, it always draws me in. You should definitely have more subs and views :)

I thought that Lucifer was a king of hell.

So if there are 7 princes who exaclty are the king and queen from hell.

Narrator: “Satan is the most powerful demon…”

Me, who’s an Obey Me fan: 🤨Then why hasn’t he gotten back at Lucifer yet.😂

All jokes aside, love the video! Instantly subscribed! 😁❤️It’s very informative and easily digestible. Keep up the good work! 😁❤️

When you realize that the Obey Me brothers are actually named by their real life counterparts. I watched this because I got bored but ended up finding out how the characters/brothers were named in the game and anime.

Fun fact about asmodeus: although related to lust, asmodeus still had a great respect for women. In generell, he is often described as humorous and friendly, and, what is the most surprising, had a great respect and deep understanding for the love of god. Marrying him to lilith is actually a briliant writing move.

Also, look on the internet, if you are lucky, you can find the hilarious story of his battle with king salomo. Its a must-know

[ritud]

I literally love your channel, just found out about it yesterday and it has already become my fav❤️

[anvigupta]

Dude, I LOVE your videos. They give me really good vibes.
You are an amazing orator! You are also kind of underrated.
And yea, I'd like to request you to please make videos on Indian Mythology, too. I'd love it if you do :)
Keep going! <3

Belphegor will be waiting for me: sloth is my sin :(

[Lulzswag]

According to "The Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage" and other reading material I've read there's supposedly 4 crown princes of hell; Lucifer, Satan, Leviathan, and Belial. Below them are 8 dukes of hell which are Astaroth, Asmodi, Oriens, Ariton, Magoth, Beelzebub, Paymon, and Amaymon.

It also makes more sense for there to be only 4 crown princes as they're depicted as ruling the 4 corners of the earth (North, South, East, West).

Just my 2 cents.

[garthdavis]

I'd love to see these as characters in Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss.

[RekEStore]

This is a great voice actor and storyteller. And a good explanation to those looking for references to other texts.
But all I think when I watch this is "Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss fans, GATHER ROUND!"

[anothermereapostleofjimpickens]

Can you please do some Viking stuff as well as more Native American mythology?

[sarahhurst]

Yes indeed good sir! Just tuned into your channel & I absolutely love your concept, narration, & presentation of this topic my friend! I've been studying on the princes of hell as well for some time & I've gotta say 'nicely done!" As to your question of favorites amongst the princes, have to go with Lucifer, and I agree with you on the relation between him & Satan. Leviathon would be up there as well as to my favorites! Excellent coverage man! Rock on & peace out!

"Value the gold streets of heaven above his feelings for god.." this one got me 🤣
