 Magog
    region of Gog, the second of the "sons" of Japheth (Gen. 10:2; 1
    Chr. 1:5). In Ezekiel (38:2; 39:6) it is the name of a nation,
    probably some Scythian or Tartar tribe descended from Japheth.
    They are described as skilled horsemen, and expert in the use of
    the bow. The Latin father Jerome says that this word denotes
    "Scythian nations, fierce and innumerable, who live beyond the
    Caucasus and the Lake Maeotis, and near the Caspian Sea, and
    spread out even onward to India." Perhaps the name "represents
    the Assyrian Mat Gugi, or 'country of Gugu,' the Gyges of the
    Greeks" (Sayce's Races, etc.).
