Klothod: A demon whose name means “battle,” at least according to the Testament of Solomon. Klothod is one of a group of seven female demons called up and bound by King Solomon in this extra-biblical text dating to the first few centuries of the Common Era. Klothod and her sisters are almost certainly personifications of the Pleiades,
a star cluster that is frequently represented by seven sisters in mythologies around the world. As a demon, Klothod is reputed to cause discord and fighting among men. Her sisters are no better, as they are called Deception, Strife, Jealousy, Power, Error, and “the Worst.” Solomon is said to have put all seven of them to work building the foundations of his great temple.
