H. P. Blavatsky

Zohak. The personification of the Evil One or Satan under the shape of a serpent, in the Zend Avesta. This serpent is three‐headed, one of the heads being human. The Avesta describes it as dwelling in the region of Bauri or Babylonia. In reality Zohak is the allegorical symbol of the Assyrian dynasty, whose banner had on it the purple sign of the dragon. (Isis Unveiled, Vol. II., p. 486, n.)
