Literature

Ithuriel's Spear The spear of the the angel Ithuriel, the slightest touch of which exposed deceit. Hence, when Satan squatted like a toad "close to the ear of Eve," Ithuriel only touched the creature with his spear, and it resumed the form of Satan.
"Him [i.e. Satan], thus intent Ithuriel with his
Spear
Touched lightly; for no falsehood can endure
Touch of celestial temper, but returns
Of force to its own likeness."
Milton: Paradise Lost, iv 810-813. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
