Mammon of Paradise Lost

Within the novel "Paradise Lost"Mammon was known 'the least erected spirit' who had fallen from Heaven after the battle between Heaven and Hell was lost. Mammom could be said to have been a greedy demon. It is written that he was more interested in the golden streets of Heaven then praising his own Father who was considered even more beautiful then those dim roads. After the fall he caused men on earth to go looking for that we he so highly admired. Men would dig for the gold and treasures they would find, for after the fall, men were more greedy then ever before. This is how coal mines and holes in God's highest mountains came to be. It originated from the depths of Hell where the fallen demons reside.
