Editing Abaddon (section)

=== In Medieval Christian Literature ===

In medieval Christian literature, the depiction of Abaddon often mirrors the religious and cultural contexts of the time. A notable illustration of this is found in the [[Song of Roland]], an 11th-century epic poem. This work associates Abaddon with figures such as Mahome ([[Mahound]]), Apollyon (Appolin), and [[Termagant]], which are presented as deities in the context of the poem's portrayal of Muslims. The inclusion of Apollyon, a name sometimes linked with Abaddon in Christian texts, highlights the interpretative approaches of the period towards Islamic practices.<ref name="faculty.sgsc.edu"/>

Such literary representations in medieval Christian literature are indicative of the broader context of interfaith understanding and relations during the Middle Ages. They reflect the complexities and nuances in the depiction of figures like Abaddon and their perceived associations with other faiths.<ref>{{cite web |last=Juferi |first=Mohd Elfie Nieshaem |title=The Christian Missionaries & Their Lies About Muhammad |url=https://bismikaallahuma.org/polemical-rebuttals/lies-about-muhammad/ |website=Bismika Allahuma |date=September 20, 2005 |access-date=November 14, 2023}}</ref>
