Daemones Spirits: Overview Part 1
Daemones are also known as Spirit Personifications. There are two kinds of Daemones, agathodaimon and kakodaimon, noble spirits and malevolent spirits, respectively. However, modern scholars and theologists have separated all of the daemones into seven broad categories:
1. Emotions and states of mind, e.g. Love and Hate, Desire, Affection, Anger, Harmony and Discord, Joy and Grief, Laughter, Hope and Fear, Indignation, and Delusion.
2. The human condition, e.g. Birth and Death, Sleep and Dreams, Pleasure and Pain, Youth and Old Age, Wealth and Poverty, Hunger and Disease, Ease and Toil, Fate and Opportunity
3. Qualities, e.g. Strength, Beauty, Grace, Wisdom, and Stupidity
4. Morality, e.g. Valor, Modesty, Moderation, Hubris, Mercy, Truth, Lies, Impiety, Justice, Oath, Respect, and Insolence
5. Voice, e.g. Eloquence, Persuasion, Criticism, Lies, Quarrels, Prayer, Counsel, Curse, Lament, Rumor, Message, Fame, Battle-Cry
6. Actions, e.g. Force, Rivalry, Victory, Labor, Contest, Fighting, Murder
7. State of society, e.g. Peace and War, Good-Governance, Law and Lawlessness, Justice and Injustice
This is part one of a fairly complete list of Daemones referenced in Greek mythology and theology, separated into each of the seven modern categories as best as I can do (I could not find a list where they were separated out, but I feel like it would be helpful if they were, so). Some of the Daemones overlap categories, so it looks like there are repeats.
