Demon Things Conference 2016
This international conference explores the range and variation of liminal entities the Ancient Egyptians believed capable of harm and help from the Predynastic through the Coptic periods.
While previous demonological conferences focussed on issues related to definitions, we invite scholars to discuss the manifestations of demons through iconography, objects, or textual descriptions. Scholars are encouraged to present their findings in the hopes that the conference will provide a creative venue for spotting links and patterns.
By converging different areas of research a fuller picture of these multifaceted entities may emerge.

Optional extras include:
- An introduction to the Ancient Egyptian Demonology Project 2K Database
- A Night at the Museum at The Egypt Centre

The conference is open to all and is being held in the historic Singleton Abbey, within Swansea University’s Singleton Campus.
