Ancient Demons

The Ancient Demons category includes all the malevolent entities and chaotic forces from the earliest mythologies of human civilizations, spanning pre-Christian and pre-Islamic pagan traditions across the Near East, Mediterranean, Indo-European, African, and other ancient cultures.

Mentioned in some of the oldest known texts (Sumerian clay tablets, Akkadian epics, Egyptian funerary inscriptions, Zoroastrian cosmology, Norse sagas, Greek and Roman myths, and more), these ancient demonic spirits often embody cosmic evil, disease, death, or underworld chaos.
