Agas

In Persian mythology, Agas is a female demon, one of the Druj, which embodies the evil that can be performed by the eye, namely illness. Agas is Persian for "evil eye".

Agas causes problems and difficulties by distorting the sight of others or creating visions to them. It tempts people into committing sin through visual means such as voyeurism, sexually attractive sights and covetousness.

Agas presents visions of what people lust for the most and delights when she sees people falling for her traps. When they do she inflicts diseases of the eyes on those that could not resist temptation.
