And with a roar and a hiss he called unto his brethren closest to him, and there leaped at once to follow: Jehovah-Yahweh, Emanu-Elish and Dagon-Erat, and with them leaped the armies at their command; racing quickly after the Daughter which seemed to flee in fear.

See: Demiurge

Summary: Dagon-Erat was one of ten dark princes created by the Chief Demiurge, Yaldabaoth (6:1:48-50). Each of Yaldabaoth’s sons commanded vast hordes of lesser minions during the Second War against Heaven.

Notes/References:

And Jehovah commanded fiercely against his brothers, saying: “The woman you see alone is mine, therefore leave her unto me; for I would finish what once she started and bring her down in ruin, for I would avenge myself against her.”

Thus did Emanu-Elish and Dagon-Erat yield the prize to Jehovah, being themselves in fear of him; and with fierce intent they followed after the Cherubim, perchance to overtake, hoping each within themselves to win a victory all their own against the very Gods.

For at Gilliahmas did Mahaleenah face at once the armies of Jehovah-Yahweh, and Emanu-Elish and Dagon-Erat also; being themselves together numbered among the dark princes of Yaldabaoth; possessing at their command a vast and swelling horde which did strive with vicious effort to overwhelm the Father’s Daughter.

Thus in great uncertainty the battle raged and on the fourth day did the forces of the Demiurge pull back to reassemble the tattered remains of all their might; and in a hurried tone did Jehovah-Yahweh confer heatedly with his brother Dagon-Erat concerning what next they ought to do.

And as they wrestled among themselves in the forming of a plan, even in that moment did the Mahaleenah and Michael set in order the armies of the Light; for among the Cherubim and Seraphim were many gravely wounded, while among the armies of Elohim had many been most hurtful wounded.
