Agathodemon, plural: Agathodemons
Variations: Agathodaemon, Agathodaimon,
Agathos Daimon
The mythology of the Agathodemon began
back in Egypt; however, it is a Greek word. Its
name translates to mean “the good god” or “good
divinity.” It was believed that every person was
born with two personal, invisible guardians, the
Agathodemons and the CACODAEMON. Agathodemons were said to be their good-natured protectors and CACODAEMON were their evil counterparts. Each demon encouraged its own
impulses. Agathodemons are most often depicted
as a snake with a human head, but on occasion
they have been shown as a young man holding a
basket full of ears of corn.
Agathodemons are most powerful on the first
day after a new moon, a time when they are to
be remembered for the duty they perform. They
are given tribute daily and it is shown by the consumption of a glass of wine after a meal has been
eaten. Agathodemons are the symbolic reminder
to live a moral life and to always seek to improve
oneself. The only time one of them would ever
attack a person is if they were attempting to destroy a vineyard that was under their protection
(see also ENOCHIAN CACODAEMONS).

Age of Demons, The
Hesiod (700 B.C.E.), a Greek oral poet whose
writings serve as a major source on Greek
mythology, calculated that demons live ten times

longer than the phoenix, which in turn lives ten
times longer than a human.
Plutarch (46 –120 A.D.), a Roman citizen and
Greek historian, biographer, and essayist, determined by his studies that demons are susceptible
to disease, and therefore he estimated that the
maximum age a demon could live to reach would
be no more than 9,720 years.
