About the Author

Siam Bhayro is a distinguished scholar of ancient and medieval history, with a particular focus on the intersections of medicine, religion, and the supernatural in the ancient Near East and Mediterranean worlds. Holding advanced degrees in ancient languages and comparative religion, Bhayro has dedicated his career to uncovering the cultural and textual underpinnings of demonic influences on human health across epochs. His research draws on primary sources from Mesopotamian incantations to early Christian exorcism rituals, illuminating how societies from antiquity to the early-modern period conceptualized illness as a battle against otherworldly forces. Through meticulous analysis and interdisciplinary approaches, Bhayro bridges the gaps between philology, anthropology, and medical history, offering fresh insights into humanity's enduring fascination with the demonic. His work not only enriches academic discourse but also resonates with broader audiences interested in the origins of modern medical and spiritual practices.
