Daemon (classical mythology)

In classical mythology, a daemon is like a special spirit or creature that helped humans or gods. They are kind of like invisible helpers who can do things like make crops grow or give advice.

Think of them like invisible helpers that can help you do things or make things happen, like a magic genie. They were believed to be all around, but you couldn't see them unless they wanted you to. Some people believed they were just a part of the natural world, like the wind or the sun.

People would often pray to these daemons for help or protection, just like people today might pray to God or other deities. They were believed to be a bridge between the human world and the divine, and were thought to have special powers that could help with all sorts of things.

So in short, daemons were special spirits in classical mythology that could help humans and gods with their powers, but were invisible and had to be invoked for help.
