WHAT DOES DEMON MEAN IN POLISH?

Demon

Demon - beings in many folk beliefs, mythologies and religions that occupy an intermediate position between gods and humans, between the earthly, human, material, and divine, purely spiritual; creatures with semi-human qualities, half divine; Most often they are unfriendly spirits, originally associated with the notion of sacred impurity. In the Greek religion, the demon is at first an impersonal supernatural power, which in time has begun to envision itself in the form of various subordinate spirits to the gods. Originally, this concept was ambivalent, a positive and negative term for a superhuman creature - demons were both dangerous and benign. Since the days of Xenocrates, with the development of the concept of dualism, demons began to identify primarily with evil, since all entanglement in matter was considered evil. In the history of religion it can be observed that often demons were degraded polytheistic deities displaced in the course of the development of the beliefs of the pantheon of the deities. Often subordinate foreign gods to their own God, degrading them to the level of demons.
