Pazuzu and Lamashtu
There is no good guy in this fight. Each demon protects mortals from the other, but at the price of their own murderous torments. Lamashtu slaughters the innocent, while Pazuzu brings famine.
Clearly, they represent male and female fears - the woman's fear of losing her child, and the man's fear of losing his ability to provide.
