is also known unto us as War on Earth. The Entity of Los is the fallen (earthly or human) form of Urthona, one of the four Zoas, and the embodiment of human creativity and inspiration. He is referred to as the "eternal Prophet" and creates the visionary city of Golgonooza. Los is regularly described as a smith, beating with his Hammer on a forge, which is metaphorically connected to the beating of the human heart. The bellows of his forge are the human lungs. Los's emanation, Enitharmon, represents spiritual beauty and embodies pity, but at the same time creates the spatial aspect of the fallen world, weaving bodies for men and creating sexual strife through her insistence upon chastity. In the Book of Urizen (1794), it is revealed that Los and Enitharmon have a child, Orc, who is the embodiment of the spirit of Revolution.
The name Los is, by common critical acceptance, an anagram of Sol, the Latin word for "sun". Los is also the plural form of the Spanish masculine definite object marker el, and El is a generic name for a god in biblical Hebrew and related languages. Such innovations are common in many of Blake's prophetic poems. We quote (and, sadly from momentary memory lapse) mis-quote from the Prophetic Poem, Milton.
