DAEMONS Daemons, also known as Genii, were a race of invisible beings, one being assigned by Zeus to every man, to attend, protect and guide him. They were nameless and numberless, the only ones enjoying names the ones that acted as personal attendants to specific gods and goddesses. In the case of daemons assigned to mere mortals, the genii would identify with its particular human, and would endeavour to guide him or her through their life, charting a wise course through the turbulent waters of existence, and on the demise of the mortal, his or her daemon died with them.
