The term "legion" comes from the Romans, and it refers generally to the solders who were Roman citizens. In its usage in the New Testament, it is used merely to express that there were too many to bother counting, as in, "We are called Legion, for we are many." In layman's terms, it is similar to our usage of "bunch."

This suggests that exorcised demons may seek new hosts or be eliminated, depending on the narrative.

What happened to the pigs that Jesus sent Legion into?

A:Jesus asked the wild man at Gadarene his name, but the demons replied, saying 'Legion', a play on words because legionmeans a great many. Jesus called the demons out of the man and into 5000 pigs, which ran down a steep mountain into the sea and drowned, a totally superfluous means of ridding the man of his demons. Denis R. MacDonald believes this story is really a deliberate reversal of a similar passage in Homer's Odyssey, when Polyphemus asked Odysseus for his name and he replied, 'Nobody'. On MacDonald's view, there were no demons or pigs, and nothing happened to them.
