Origen on the rule of daemons

"According to God's laws no daemon has been allotted control of earthly thing. But through their own wickedness, perhaps, they divided among themselves those regions where there is not to be found any knowledge of God or the life lived after His will, or where there are many alien to God. Perhaps, on the other hand, as worthy to govern and to punish the wicked, they were appointed by the Logos who administers the universe to rule those who have subjected themselves to evil and not to God." (Con. Cel. VIII,33)
