The Anguiped (Latin: angui, 'snake'; ped-, 'foot') is a kind of divinity that is often found on magical amulets from the Greco-Roman period, and is characterized by having serpents for legs. Abraxas, the most common kind of Anguiped, is depicted as a creature with the head of a rooster and snakes for legs, symbolism thought to be of Persian origin. Sometimes inscribed below is Iao, a form of the Tetragrammaton – the four letters used to represent the name of the God of Judaism. Such amulets, as well as the repeated usage of the name Iao in magical papyri, curse tablets, gems, and other amulets, provide evidence of syncretic cults combining elements of Judaism with paganism. In the Talmud, people who turned away from Judaism to such cults are referred to as minim – often translated as "here

  • The Anguiped (Latin: angui, 'snake'; ped-, 'foot') is a kind of divinity that is often found on magical amulets from the Greco-Roman period, and is characterized by having serpents for legs. Abraxas, the most common kind of Anguiped, is depicted as a creature with the head of a rooster and snakes for legs, symbolism thought to be of Persian origin. Sometimes inscribed below is Iao, a form of the Tetragrammaton – the four letters used to represent the name of the God of Judaism. Such amulets, as well as the repeated usage of the name Iao in magical papyri, curse tablets, gems, and other amulets, provide evidence of syncretic cults combining elements of Judaism with paganism. In the Talmud, people who turned away from Judaism to such cults are referred to as minim – often translated as "heretics" or "apostates". In Graeco-Roman art, both Typhon and the giants (after around 380 BCE) are often conventionally depicted as anguipeds. A common religious motif in Roman Germany and eastern Gaul depicts an equestrian Jupiter riding down an anguipedal giant. (en)
  • El Anguípedo es una divinidad frecuente en los amuletos mágicos de la época grecorromana. El Anguípedo se representa como una criatura de cabeza de gallo y piernas hechas de serpientes, simbolismo que se considera de procedencia persa. A veces se añade al pie la inscripción Iao, una forma del Tetragrámaton: las cuatro letras usadas para representar el nombre del Dios de los judíos. Estos amuletos, junto con el repetido uso del nombre Iao en papiros mágicos, tablillas de maldición, gemas y otros amuletos, son prueba de cultos sincréticos que combinaban el judaísmo con el paganismo. En el Talmud, aquellos que se apartaron del Judaísmo para seguir esos cultos se denominan minim, traducido a menudo como "herejes" o "apóstatas". En otros casos el Anguípedo se denomina Abraxas. (es)
