Many minor gods are classified as daimons instead of, or in addition to, being full-fledged divinities depending on who's classifying them. In other words, when someone describes an entity as a "demigod" and are not referring to the offspring of a god and a mortal, they are describing a daimon. Not to be confused with "demons" note though demons would be considered a subtype of daimon, daimon is an umbrella term for any semi-divine being that is more than a mortal, but less than a god. ![]()
