La palabra daimon y la arbitrariedad de algunos grupos religiosos al momento de juzgar “lo satánico”
The daimon concept and the arbitrary judgment of religious when it comes to saying something is “satanic”
En cuanto a la interpretación cristiana (original de la Iglesia Católica y heredada por la gran mayoría de las evangélicas) el lugar educativo Clarke en la Red dice:
Un dato interesante aparte de todo esto es que la sociedad cristiana subsiguiente pasó a considerara a todos estos espíritus como malignos ("demonio" es derivado de la palabra griega, "daimon"). En la Grecia clásica, de todos modos, los daimons podían ser buenos o de beneficio como con el que S
Alan G. Hefner describes the definition of the word daimon as follows:
Daimon is the Greek derivative for the term demon. In this sense the term "demon" means "replete with knowledge." The ancient Greeks thought there were good and bad demons called 'eudemons' and 'cacodemons.' The term 'daimon' means "divine power," "fate" or "god." Daimons, in Greek mythology, included deified heroes. They were considered intermediary spirits between men and the gods. Good daimons were considered to be guardian spirits, giving guidance and protection to the ones they watched over. Bad daimons led people astray. Socrates said he had a life-time daimon that always warned him of danger and bad judgment, but never directed his actions. He said his daimon was more accurate than omens of either watching the flights or reading the entrails of birds, which were two respected forms of divination of the time.
Regarding Christian interpretation (originally by the Catholic Church) of daimons, Clarke educational website says:
One interesting aside to all this is that subsequent Christian society came to view all such spirits as evil ("demon" is derived from the Greek word, "daimon"). In classical Greece, however, daimons could be beneficial as is the case with the one Socrates has been gifted with since a child.
