The word Demon : The "spoils" of the winners

Demon: how the most sacred word of the ancients became synonymous with the devil

writes o George Damianos

The semantic mutation of the word demons reminds something of the spoils of the victors. It reminds of the ancient aristocrats who ended up in the galleys of the victorious Romans. It reminds, reminds... countless cases that confirm that the winner never respects "the sacred and the faithful" of the defeated.

Let's get, Nevertheless, things from scratch. In antiquity the word Demon (male. and female) it was, perhaps, the most pious word. Produced by r. yes (: I give each one his fortune). Although it coexisted with the word God, however, daemon referred to impersonal and undefined power, while the god in the anthropomorphic divine entity. The concept of demon was equated with Fate, την Ειμαρμένη

also, in l. Demona attributed the meaning of guardian angel "vs. guardian demon". Answer’ here and the word bliss (: happiness, it identified the one with the Demon's favor) 24grammata.com

Nevertheless, in the course of filming, the new religion is established: Christianity. The word that declared the pure god of the Ancients had to acquire a negative meaning as a synonym for God becomes synonymous with the Devil. The good angel becomes an evil demon. The demons, most, they are the evil spirits,( … woe to the losers… ) the angel of evil, the fallen angel headed by satan (< satana in Hebrew: the opponent). So, the words were created: ingenious, demonical, demon struck, exorcist, demon worship, pandemonium Mr. a. With this meaning it was also transferred to Hesperia (Italian: demonic, demon mania, pandemonium. French: demon. English:daemon, daimon. Germ: Damon)

It seems that the word did not become sterile even in the Greek city of Eudaemon, in the Red Sea, 1the century. B.C. The Romans will rename/translate it to “Arabia Felix”. Today, is the port of Aden (Yemen). 24grammata.com

The last "hotspots of resistance" are recorded in the word: bliss, where the demon is carried in the sense of god. So, to remind that where we are now spitting (B.C. "damn you possessed"), some had staked the salvation of their souls.
