==Description==

"'''Pandæmonium'''" ([[American]] [[English]] "Pandemonium") stems from Greek "παν", [[meaning]] "all" or "every", and "δαιμόνιον", meaning "little [[spirit]]" or "little [[angel]]", or, as Christians interpreted it, "little daemon", and later, "demon" (thus roughly translated as "All Demons"); or it can be [[interpreted]] as Παν-δαιμον-ειον = "all-demon-place". It is the name invented by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Milton John Milton] for the capital of Hell, "the High Capital, of [[Satan]] and his Peers", built by the fallen [[angels]] at the suggestion of Mammon at the end of Book I, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradise_Lost Paradise Lost] (1667). Book II begins with the [[debate]] among the demons in the council-chamber of Pandæmonium. The demons built it in about an hour, but it far surpassed all [[human]] palaces or dwellings; it may have been small, though, since the demons are described as shrinking from their titanic size in order to fit in.
