	The Hebrew term '''''Abaddon''''' (~~{{lang-he\|~~אֲבַדּוֹן}}, ''~~{{lang\|he-Latn\|~~'Ǎḇaddōn}}''), and its Greek equivalent '''''Apollyon''''' (~~{{lang-gr\|~~Ἀπολλύων}}, ''Apollyon''), appears in the [[Bible]] as both a place of destruction and as the name of an [[angel]]. In the [[Hebrew Bible]], ''abaddon'' is used with reference to a bottomless pit, often appearing alongside the place שאול (''[[sheol]]''), meaning the realm of the dead. In the New Testament [[Book of Revelation]], an angel called Abaddon is described as the king of an army of [[locust]]s; his name is first transcribed in Greek (Revelation 9:11—"whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon" (Ἀβαδδὼν)), and then translated ("which in Greek means the Destroyer" (Ἀπολλύων, ''Apollyon'')). The Latin [[Vulgate]] and the [[Douay Rheims Bible]] have additional notes (not present in the Greek text), "in Latin Exterminans", ''exterminans'' being the Latin word for "destroyer".

+Abaddon is given particularly important roles in two sources, a homily entitled "The Enthronement of Abbaton" by pseudo-[[Timothy of Alexandria]], and the [[Resurrection of Jesus Christ (by Bartholomew)|Apocalypse of Bartholomew]]. In the homily by Timothy, Abbaton was first named ''Muriel'', and had been given the task by [[God]] of collecting the earth which would be used in the creation of [[Adam]]. Upon completion of this task, the angel was appointed as a guardian. Everyone, including the angels, demons, and corporeal entities feared him. Abbaton was promised that any who venerated him in life could be saved. Abaddon is also said to have a prominent role in the [[Last Judgement]], as the one who will take the souls to the [[Valley of Josaphat]]. He is described in the Apocalypse of Bartholomew as being present in the [[Tomb of Jesus]] at the moment of his [[Resurrection of Jesus|resurrection]].
