		This the Bible also suggests when speaking of the Dagon worshipped in the temple of Azotus (I K., v, 1-7): he had face and hands and a portion of his body resembled that of a fish, in accordance with the most probable interpretation of "the stump of Dagon" (verse 5).
		Evang., i, 6) that, according to an old Phœnician legend, Dagon was one of the four sons born of the marriage of Anu, the lord of heaven, with his sister, the earth.

		Dagon's son was Baal the god of harvest.
		The many analogies of the fish and the mentions of harvests, wheat and tare, the seeds along with shining sunlight and water flowing to watering it, are all lures to converge the mystery cults in with the new compiled religion.

		Dagon Taya, a tremendously creative writer who continues to compose beautiful poems, short stories, novels and commentaries even now, became the recognized leader of the post-war progressive writers with his magazine Taya, which strove to promote literary realism and "art for people’s sake" under the banner of Sar Pe Thit ("New Literature").
		Many Burmese were shocked by this apparent criticism of their revered father of independence, but Dagon Taya, and Aung San himself, merely smiled in response to the storm of controversy that this essay generated when it first appeared in Taya magazine.
		Accused of trying to destroy classical literature or of being communist agents, these young poets found their greatest defender in Dagon Taya, who reiterated his position that, while it was good to have knowledge of the classics, it wasn’t strictly necessary as long as the poet’s work served the interests of the people.

		In my opinion, Dagon is a humble salute to Lovecraft, well aware of its limits, that can be thoroughly enjoyable if taken less seriously.
		Dagon was decently creepy and succeeded in providing a "Night Of The Living Dead" feeling of inescapable horror, but I found it more interesting than scary.
		Making a film about the legend of Dagon was tempting enough for a rental, but the Imboca characters and the stylish world of their terrifying cult really helped this out.

	Dagon (Hyborian era, Conan god)
		The fish-monster Dagon is an giant amphibious creature composed of tentacles, fins, and fanged mouths connected to an unseen central body.
		Due to the close correspondences between Howard and Lovecraft any references to Dagon are undoubtedly meant to dovetail with one another, thus Dagon is actually a pre-human demonic horror born of the outer darkness or the deep sea trenches or both.
		The Mesopotamian incarnation of Dagon might not necessarily be a different Dagon but a more human incarnation of him - - or perhaps a parallel of the whole Jesus thing: Dagon the inhuman disembodied horror fathers a more human incarnation of himself upon a human woman and walks the earth as a man/anthropomorphic god.

		Dagon is not looking for love; he believes that if the witch is powerful, they will suit each other fine.
		Dagon struggles to accept the fact that his list of requirements in a mate may be significantly lacking in some areas.
		Although certainly meant as endearing, I cringed at the moment in the story when Dagon is reflecting upon life with Sarina, and fondly thinks that he will spend the rest of his life rescuing her.

	Scifilm -- Reviews, DAGON (2001)
		Actress Macarena Gomez is hauntingly eerie as Uxia, priestess of Dagon.
		DAGON is a more somber movie than the manic EVIL DEAD 2 and trying to turn Marsh into a gung-ho action hero at the end falls flat on its face.
		The last 5 minutes throw some shocking revelations at the viewer, but they are so garbled and tossed out in such a hurry that the viewer will probably have to go back and play the scene a couple of times to pick up everything.

	Dagon
		"Dagon" is Gordon's best effort in over a decade, but it's such an original film and so unlike the "Re-Animator" style camp Gordon is known and loved for, some fans may be disappointed.
		Perhaps that sounds a little snobby, but "Dagon" is a great movie that hearkens back to an era when horror films didn't have martial arts and in-jokes.
		But Gordon's film is actually a remarkably terrifying effort that combines some of the best elements from "The Wicker Man," "Island of the Damned," "Texas," "Night of the Living Dead" and, of course, "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (which Gordon helped turn into a remake in the 1990s).

	DAGON in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE (Bible History Online)
		When the ark was captured by the Philistines, it was conducted to Ashdod where it was placed in the house of Dagon by the side of the idol.
		The Hebrew says: "Dagon alone remained." Whether we resort to an emendation (dagho, "his fish-part") or not, commentators appear to be right in inferring that the idol was half-man, half-fish.
		The sacred writer adds that from that time on the priests of Dagon and all those that entered the house of Dagon refrained from stepping upon the miphtan of Dagon.

	Amazon.ca: DVD: Dagon (Widescreen) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		"Dagon" is one of the few attempts to capture the essence of H.P. Lovecraft's works that actually manages to convey his sense of horror and dread to the screen.
		Inspired by two Lovecraft short tales - "Dagon" and "The Shadow over Innsmouth"- the plot follows two couples who are on a yacht cruise celebrating the succes of their dot.com co. when a freak storm wrecks their boat and sends two of them to the coastal town of ImBoca for help.
		Overall, Dagon will satisfy the horror buff in anyone who loves this genre, but whether this movie leaves you pondering and thinking about it five minutes after you put the DVD back in its case is a different matter.

		Dagon is based on the story "Shadow Over Innsmouth." In the story, Lovecraft envisioned a cult devoted to an ancient, malevolent sea-god/monstrosity called Dagon.
		Dagon himself is based on the Philistine god of the same name, who is apparently mentioned in the Bible.
		Dagon's attempts to be more thoughtful and atmospheric than the average schlock are thus hamstrung.
