In Greco-Roman belief systems, the concept of evil spirits was not uniform but varied among different cultures and philosophies. Many ancient Greeks and Romans acknowledged the existence of malevolent entities, such as the Erinyes (Furies) or various daemons, which could cause harm or misfortune. Additionally, philosophical schools like Stoicism and Platonism often viewed evil as a lack of good rather than a distinct force, while popular religion included rituals to appease or ward off evil spirits. Overall, while the belief in evil spirits existed, it was intertwined with broader metaphysical and moral frameworks.
