Demons are traditionally understood as malevolent supernatural beings present in religion, folklore, occultism, and modern media.
The word demon comes from the Greek daimōn, meaning spirit or divine power—initially not evil. Over time, especially through religious texts like the Septuagint, the term became associated with malevolent entities.
In Mesopotamian mythology, spirits such as the galla dragged people into the underworld—yet some also protected the living. Ancient Zoroastrian texts similarly depict demons (daeva/div) in cosmic struggle against divine forces, an idea later adopted in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
Western occult traditions categorize demons by roles and sins. Medieval scholars like Psellus, Binsfeld, Michaëlis, and Agrippa described systems involving elemental princes, fallen angels, and specific demonic hierarchies associated with the seven deadly sins.
