Da’gon (Hebrew, Jag On, the fish On).

The idol of the Philistines; half woman and half fish. (See ATERGATA.)

“Dagon his name; sea-monster, upward man

And downward fish; yet had his temple high

Rear’d in Azo’ous dreaded through the coast

Of Palestine, in Gath and As’calon,

And Accaron and Gaza’s frontier bounds.”

Milton: Paradise Lost, book i. 462.

Dagobert.

Dag’onet (Sir).
