==Trivia==
In Greek Mythology and cultural belief, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daimon daimons] are lesser divinities or spirits similar to ghosts, chthonic heroes, spirit guides, forces of nature, or aspects of the deities themselves. Much like the computer programs that would be named for them, they were often "behaviors" of divine or spiritual activity, operating on a subconscious level.
Historically, daemons, not to be confused with ''[[Covenant religion#Demons|demon]]s'', are good or malevolent supernatural beings between mortals and gods, such as inferior divinities and ghosts of dead heroes.
