8. Jezebel
Up next in our list of most famous fictional witches in mythology is Jezebel that is one of those characters who first existed in real life, as a Phoenician princess, no less. Or at least in the scriptures as it is, as her story is found in The Old Testament.
She is depicted as the mean girl of The Bible who managed to deter her husband, King Ahab of Israel, from worshipping Yahve and instead worship the nature god Baal. She also ordered the murder of Yahve prophets, and at a time when the major monotheist religions and older religions were fighting, Jezebel was in the middle of the battle. Her story is not a pretty one and to this day, she is associated with sorcerers and bad deeds.
