Demon (Greek: δαίμων, daimon) often denotes a manevolant entity in classical and modern cultures and religions. However, its Greek root, daimon, may not have necessarily carried any negative connotations. Daimon originally implied a spirit or divine power, possibly an equivalent to the Latin word numen, meaning "divinity", or a "divine presence", "divine will." At the advent of Christianity, Greek and Latin concepts were paganized, or essentially, demonized.

One of the most ancient written sources regarding a clash between good and evil is the Enuma Elis which recounts Mesopotamian cosmology. A great beast is described, known as Tiamat, who bears children to serve in her rebellion against Marduk (Babylonian), or EA (Sumerian). Tiamat was described as primordial chaos and sometimes identified with images of a sea serpent or dragon. The Enûma Elish states that Tiamat gave birth to dragons and serpents, among a more general list of monsters including scorpion men and merpeople.
