Charles Stewart’s Demons and the Devil delves into the intricate interplay between folk traditions and orthodox beliefs in contemporary Greek thought. Through a study that bridges fieldwork on the Cycladic island of Naxos with careful analysis of Orthodox liturgical texts, Stewart challenges the clear-cut distinction between demonic folklore and official religious doctrine. The work illustrates how figures from the margins - spirits inhabiting streams, wells, and caves - serve as mediators in the everyday struggles of life and disease. Drawing upon a diverse range of sources, the book presents Greek demons as vital elements of a cognitive map, enabling individuals to confront and interpret the ambiguities of existence. Stewart persuasively argues that understanding these liminal beings is key to appreciating the dynamic relationship between a community’s inherited narratives and its formal religious practices, urging a reevaluation of long-held assumptions about the modern relevance of mythic figures.
