    Exactly. Your points are 100% correct, but I don't want to bother most people here with specific stuff. Especially when it comes to a language as tricky as Ancient Greek

    Hehehe. So I thought our understanding of "demon" would probably be translated into something like "bad daimon" or something like that. "kakon daimon" or something or maybe even "of bad daimon" like "having a bad soul" wich could fit with the metaphor of being a demon.
    Just brainstorming...
