Patrick Harpur | Unpacking The Paranormal, Our Daimonic Reality, Myth, & Alchemy
Ancient Greek Daemones and the Soul of the World
The concept of "daemons" is traced back to ancient Greece, where they were viewed as a class of beings mediating between humanity and the gods. Using Eros as a primary example, Harper explains that these entities inhabit the "soul of the world," a middle realm described by Plato. This demonic reality serves as the connective tissue between the physical world and the ideal world of forms.
