This begs the question, doesn't it, regarding the meaning of DAIMONA? "demon" is a
translation of the term which gives off the connotation of "evil spirit". But -- if
memory serves -- there is scads of data out there that indicates that a DAIMON is a
also a good force. Think of Socrates' "sign".

FWIW.
