Pikollos

Pikollos

a deity among the ancient Wends of Slavonia, who was believed to preside over the infernal regions and the realms of the dead. He was represented as an old man with a pale countenance, and having before him three death's heads. He corresponded to Pluto of the ancient Romans, and to Siva of the Hindus. Like the latter, he desires human blood, and reigns at on ce over the manes or souls of the dead, and over the metals in the bowels of the earth.
