(Pronounced 'day-mon'. Plural: daemones. Pronounced: 'day-mon-nez').
A Greek/
Roman divinity who isn'
t necessarily a
god, according to mythology, (e.g. avatar, demigod, unknown 'god', spirit guide, guardian spirit, etc.).
(Notes: Daemon means 'divine (god-like) being', in ancient Greek. A daemon isn't to be confused with a
demon, which is an evil spirit. The majority of daemones are benign. They are between the status of a god and mortal).
'A daemon is usually a benign divinity, but the Christians tricked most people into thinking that they're demons, so that no-one would worship them and only honour their one
god.'
