Two of the most notable works that touch on this are \'\'Merlin\'\' by Robert de Boron and \'\'Vita di Merlini\'\'. In the first detailing Merlin\'s birth, notes that he was born of a human woman raped by a demon (who may or may not be Satan himself), who intended the child to become the Antichrist.
