Talk:Pandæmonium (Paradise Lost)

nope, leave it like this. good point of reference for people who want to know the etymology of the term.
 * This definition sucks, as it makes no reference to Pan, the Greek with the goat trousers, from which "panic," also comes. Pan, meaning "all," comes from the Germanic "Pfanne." Hosers!
 * There is not enough information in the article to warrent its inclusion in WP, but the subject itself appears to be notable. I think a little work can be done to make it viable, but I definitely don't see the point in moving it Mrathel (talk) 17:48, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The proposal to move is NOT any kind of judgment on the quality of the article; it is only a suggestion that the article be located at a different title. Discussion should take place at Talk:Pandæmonium. Propaniac (talk) 20:12, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

The proposal to move this article did not reach a consensus to move.--Aervanath (talk) 11:25, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Correct word?
Should it not be the 'Capital' of Hell? I may be missing something, but it is a common error. Psychokinetic (talk) 09:20, 2 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I thought similarly, but apparently "capitol" refers more narrowly to the buildings of government, whereas "capital" can refer more broadly to the city in which those buildings are located.
 * That said, Milton himself refers to Pandaemonium as a "capitol" (Book 1, line 756), and that usage seems appropriate too insofar as Milton refers to it in the previous line as the "Council" of fallen angels (e.g. a meeting place or building). Uchronia (talk) 00:45, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
