An excellent article;
Lives Fit for Beasts
I've done some study on demonology as of late. As said in this article, the stoics refused the 'bread and circus' games of the imperium which trapped people by their passions. So too do the demons trap us - and this is the reason for asceticism. When we give into evil passions we manifest the patterns of the demons and allow them to 'be,' in a sense, in our world and we fall into a maze where our actions become limited into certain patterns.
