The main god of the Phoenicians. Although at one time believed to be represented as half man and half fish, modern scholarship recognizes that the latter was the apkallu, while Dagan/Dagon was a grain god.
“When the Philistines tooke the Arke of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.”
“This day a ſolemn Feaſt the people hold / To Dagon thir Sea-Idol,”
“Sunning himself on the board steps, I saw for the first time Mr. Farquhar Fenelon Cooke. He was dressed out in broad gaiters and bright tweeds, like an English tourist, and his face might have belonged to Dagon, idol of the Philistines.”
