【Question】 What’s the difference between “ogre” and “daemon”?

Hello Tura. The differences between them are dependent on the mythology in which they are found. For one 'daemon' could also be spelt as 'demon' - which is the more common spelling of the word - and most times they would be interchangeable. However, in Greek mythology a daemon actually refers to a benevolent or noble spirit while a demon is an evil one. An ogre, in the other hand, in western mythology refers to a large ugly humanoid being that often eats people. There's no specific look that an ogre might have in this mythology but are universally regarded as being large ugly creatures. I think the confusion between a demon and ogre arises in Japanese culture where I believe both are referred to as 'oni'. I may be mistaken but I believe in this mythology an ogre is a type of horned demon.
I hope this helps.

An Ogre iin folklore pertains to a monster eating human giant. It has physical form while a daemon (demon) also known in Greek Mythology as a ,supetnatural being same level as god & goddess .Demons are more of spirit even if they can also have physical form. .Thanks.
