"Round Gods" is an allegory where Hell faces a crisis when mankind stops worshiping the Golden Calf. A female demon proposes a solution: melt the idol down into "small, round gods" (coins) that people can carry in their pockets. This new, more accessible form of the idol incites humanity to greater greed and violence, ensuring evil's ultimate victory .
