Merge?
Should this be merged with Archon. I'm a bit confused as to why they are in separate articles in the first place. Endercase (talk) 19:16, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I think the Archon articles Gnostic section should move to this article. Since the Archon in meaning of a worldly ruler is something else than the Gnostic Archon.--VenusFeuerFalle (talk) 02:00, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

More Bibliographic Material
Hello fellow Wikipedian editors! I'm still getting to know a lot about the editing process, but I am really looking forward to adding some more information to this page. The concept of an 'Archon' plays such an important narratival role in many Gnostic texts, and I thought I would share some of the sources I am working with right now for feedback and input.
