(from δημιουργος, which denotes a public servant, Democracy, servant, and servor work), in the mythology of the eastern philosophers, was one of the æons employed by the supreme Deity in the creation of the world. The character they give him is a compound of shining qualities and infuorportable arrogance; and his excessive lust of empire effaces his talents and virtues. He is represented as claiming dominion over the new world he has formed, as his sovereign right; and excluding totally the supreme Deity from all concernment in it, he demands from mankind, for himself and his associates, divine honours.
