A good spirit or benevolent supernatural being in ancient Greek belief.
From Greek eudaimon (eu- 'good' + daimon 'spirit'), originally meaning a person blessed by good spirits. The term evolved to describe the benevolent spirits themselves.
The word daimon gave us 'demon,' but eudemon reminds us that in Greek thought, these beings were often helpful guides—the opposite of how we think of demons today!
