Demetrius of Sidon
It is one of the two possessed from whom the demons "legions" are expelled by Jesus into the herd of pigs which they then rush into the lake of Tiberias.[1]
Demetrius, son of a merchant probably Greek from Sidon, is driven out to the region of Gamala where he meets another possessed, Mark, son of Josiah. His possession made him easily inert and dazed.
"The other demoniac, both because his tongue is tied and because he is possessed by a demon who causes him to be dullwitted, does nothing but throw himself on the ground, face down, and weep. He then sits up, remains inert, playing with little stones and his bare feet."[2]
His name
First name of Greek origin, linked to Demeter, the fertile goddess who produces wheat.
