(from Hebrew liwjatan, roughly meaning "twisted" or "coiled") was a Biblical multi-headed sea monster, referred to in passing in the Old Testament (Psalms 74:13-14; Job 41; Isaiah 27:1), probably referring to crocodile or whale. The word leviathan has become synonymous with any large monster or creature.
The Biblical Leviathan is often considered to be a demon associated with Satan or the Devil, and held by some to be the same monster as Rahab (Isaiah 51:9). The Biblical references to Leviathan appear to have evolved from a Canaanite legend involving a confrontation between Baal and a seven headed sea monster which Baal defeats with the aid of Mot, and they also resemble a Babylonian myth in which the storm god Marduk slays the sea monster Tiamat and creates the earth and sky from the two halves of her corpse.

Leviathan may also be interpreted as the sea itself, with its counterpart, Behemoth, being the land.

Certain Jewish legends consider Leviathan as an androgynous dragon that seduced Eve in his male form, and Adam in his female form.

In demonology a Leviathan is every aquatic demon. They are great liars. Leviathans can also possess persons, being very difficult to exorcise; they try to possess every person, but especially women.

The word has been reused (not only in literature) over and again:

in the 1660 book Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes
in the Illuminatus trilogy
in Moby-Dick as a reference to the whale
in the Final Fantasy games
in the Farscape science fiction series (living spaceship)
in the 1989 film Leviathan

In Hebrew, leviathan also means a device for washing raw wool.

1) any large, powerful monster or creature.

2) a giant whale in Greek (or is it Roman?) mythology.

3) a similar giant whale in Final Fantasy games.

4) title of a book by Thomas Hobbes, which gives an authoritarian argument that flaws in human nature make the state necessary.

5) a name for the state, especially an authoritarian and far-reaching state, derived from Hobbes's book.
The front cover of Hobbes's book shows a picture of a giant king, the state, made up of lots of little people.

The irony is that Hobbes is effectively advocating the creation of a "monster", which is what Leviathan initially was.

1)~ One of the four dark princes (Satan, Lucifer, Belial, Leviathan) described in cHRISTIAN, and Jewish religous ideology. He also makes an apperence in the Satanic Bible (the Book of Leviathan)... in which he is considered the lord of the raging seas.

2)~ Leviathan is also an amazing one-man USBM band on Moribund Records, and has released two albums on the label at this time, "The Tenth Sub Level of Suicide" and "Tentacles of Whorror"
