Askalaphos. Which literally means 'screech owl'. But technically speaking, he's a daimon.
Question isnt a daimon someone who eats the soals of humans? I read that somewhere but i cant actully be sure it thats true or just made up belony.
I also read somewhere that there is a goddess of memory but i cant find her any where and im trying to do resurch on her. Is she a real goddess or not?
I believe her name's Mnemosyne. She's also the mother of the Muses. The term 'mnemonic device', or memory device, came from her name.
You are correct about Mnemosyne. She is one of the six Titanides, the daughters of Gaia and Ouranos, and with Zeus she mothered the nine Mousai.
Um...no, Daimones don't eat souls. A daimon (or feminine daimona) is simply the term for an intermediate spirit between gods and man. Minor divinities who personify certain forces, like Eris (Strife) and Gelos (Laughter) are daimones, as are the ghosts of heroes and famous ancestors like Perseus and Triptolemos.
The races of humanity which preceded ours (the Golden and Silver races) are also classes of daimon. The Daimones Khryseoi live in the upper airs, and look over the modern race of man sort of like guardian angels. The Daimones Argyrei live beneath the earth and are connected with agriculture.
The word daimon means 'replete with secret knowledge' and the Latinized form of the word is genius, which is where we get the word genie from as an anglicized form of the Arabic 'djinni'.
Nowadays, we use the word 'daemon' or 'demon' in its Christian context, referring to evil spirits, but the Classical usage of the word had no moral connotations whatsoever. There were just as many 'good' daimones (Eudaimones) as there were evil ones (Kakodaimones). We still use the word 'Eudaimonia' as a byword for joy and bliss.
