49 sisters that were punished in Hades that they would eternaly try to fill a sieve with water or to carry water in a sieve, as the matter has been told in Swedish since old times. Danaos and Aigyptos were brothers and kings on different places, the latter had fifty sons and the former fifty daughters - the danaos - and it was thought to be proper that they married each other. The fifty-double wedding happened and at the same time Danaos were told by and oracle that one of his daughters sons would be his assassin, and to prevent this he made his daughters promise that they should kill their husbands during the wedding night before they had the chance to do any pass at them. All the daughters obeyed their father's will except one, Hypermnestra, who spared her groom and soon enough gave birth to a boy who, as it was said, killed Danaos.

Demon
The word demon is in common parlance an evil spirit more like a small devil. Thomas ab Aquino, the Roman church's greatest theologian, claims that demons exists; and therefore there are also witches. In ancient times before Christianity a demon were seen as a lower godlike creature. After Platon every man were thought to have their own demon, in other world like a guardian spirit, something like the Scandinavian fylgia. Sokrates heard an inner voice which he called daimonion, a derivation of daimon, which is the Greek spelling of the word demon. A sort of demon that served Medieval sorcerers and withces were called "famulus" with a Latin word which means servant. The figure has been inherited to the English language and is now called "familiar".

Devil, The
He has many names [see Devilish Names]. A French Medieval legend inform us that the vestrian in a convent had made the most striking portrait of the Devil in the whole country. The Devil himself took offence of the picture, looked up the vestrian and threatened him that things would go bad for him if he did not replace the picture with a more pleasant one. Two nights in a row the vestrian managed to drive him out by making the sign of the cross and holy water, but when the Devil failed the third time he fixed so the vestrian felt a burning desire for a noble lady who made him steal valuables from the convent's treasury and then flee with her. As soon as the obsessed couple had gone the Devil woke the other monks and made them follow the fleeing. They didn't care about the lady, that is not allowed for a monk, but they attached the vestrian, dragged him to the convent and locked him in. Then the Devil showed himself and promised the vestrian that he would help him out from the prison if the man changed the caricature, and this time he couldn't resist the offer. The next morning the other monks met, to their surprise, the vestrian who acted like nothing had happened. When they, irritated, reminded him of what had occured and looked very surprised and said that it must have been somebody else; he had been sleeping in his bed all night. The brothers now hastened to the prison cell where they saw the Devil himself sit in a corner wearing a monk's frock, and when they stepped in he flew up through the ceiling with a crash after he had lifted up the fat monk chief and dropped him on the other friars. These now apologised to the vestrian and he held his promise and changed the caricature of the Devil to a more pleasant one. There after he confessed everything to the oldest of the monks and were forgiven. The lady regreted her aberration and she were forgiven as well.
Devil Worship
This is the practice of worshiping demons or other evil spirits. Only a few groups actually worship devils or other beings they consider evil. Members of a Brazilian religious group worship evil spirits called Exus, who they belive will harm their enemies. An anti-Christian movement called Satanism has a small number of followers in Europe and North America. Satanism involves elements of magic and witchcraft. Its chief ceremony is the Black Mass, a disorted version of a Christian church service in which the worshipers praise Satan and ridicule God.
The term devil worship is sometimes used by people to describe religion other than their own. Individuals who consider their religion the only true one may regard the gods of others as devils - especially if the gods are portrayed as fierce. People also may use the term devil worship for practices they misinterpret. For example, some groups offer gifts to evil spirits to calm the spirit's anger. Such offerings may seem like devil worship to other people.
Djinn
Djinns are supernatural essens, demons of nature, in Arabian folklore. They have power of the people but can with magical means make them serve you. King Salomo had djinns in his service and used them to conjure tricks before the Queen of Saba. The djinns can transform themselves to animals; especially the shape of snakes. They can also change themselves to storms. When a tornado or sandstorm blow up to a pillar it is a djinn who is coming. The djinns live underground and are incredible rich, but they can not pronounce Allah's name.
Dumah
Commander of the demons of Gehenna.
