Rimmon - A fallen archangel, now an "inferior demon." Rimmon was originally an Aramaean deity worshipped at Damascus; also an idol of Syria. In occultism he is the devil's ambassador to Russia. In Bates' The Bible Designed to Be Read as Living Literature (p. 1262, glossary) "Elisha allowed Naaman the Syrian to bow down with his master in the house of Rimmon." Thus, to bow down in the house of Rimmon implies "to conform to a reprehensible custom to save one's life." To the Semites, Rimmon was the god of storms, the Akkadian name being Im (Forlong, Encyclopedia of Religions). His emblem is the pomegranate. The Assyrians called him Barku (lightening) and the Kassites named him Tessub. In Babylonian myth, Rimmon was the thunder god, pictured with a trident.

What was the name of the demon Jesus removed from the man and put into the pigs?
In Mark 5:9, Jesus asked the demon his name, and the demon answered, "Legion." However, there could be another meaning to this story, in which case we can not say that the demon was really called Legion.Dennis R MacDonald (The Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark) argues that the Gospel of Mark contains material modelled on the Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, using a technique known as mimesis, common at the time among Greek students to demonstrate mastery of the Greek language. He notes that when Jesus and his crew disembarked they met a wild, demon-possessed man of incredible strength and violent, terrifying habits, who lived among caves. In the Odyssey, Odysseus and his crew disembarked and met Polyphemus, a savage, lawless, cave-dwelling giant of incredible strength and violent, terrifying habits. When Polyphemus asked Odysseus for his name, he replied, 'Nobody'. When Jesus asked the demon his name, the demon replied, 'Legion' - the request was reversed and the answer was an absolute reverse of that by Odysseus. There are so many other parallels in this short passage that the demon's reply to Jesus was undoubtedly a transvaluation of the reply in the Odyssey, not really the demon's name.
