Abyzou
About “Abyzou”:
In the folklore of the Near East and Europe, Abyzou is a female demon associated with miscarriages and infant mortality, motivated by envy over her own infertility. In Coptic Egypt, she is identified with Alabasandria, and in Byzantine culture with Gylou. In various texts surviving from the syncretic magical practice of antiquity and the Early Middle Ages, she is said to have many or virtually innumerable names.
