In demonology Morax is a Great Earl and President of Hell, having thirty-six (thirty-two other authors) legions of demons under his command. He teaches Astronomy and all other liberal sciences, and gives good and wise familiars that know the virtues of all herbs and precious stones.
He is depicted as a big bull with the face of a man.
His name seems to come from Latin 'morax', that delays, that stops.
Other spellings: Foraii, Marax.
