Homonym: Eidolon (Apparition)
An "Eidolon" is a term that originates from ancient Greek, meaning a phantom or an idealized image of something. In literature and philosophy, it often refers to a representation or an embodiment of a concept, idea, or spirit. Eidolons can symbolize the unattainable or serve as a reflection of one's desires and aspirations.
In modern contexts, the term is used in various fields, including psychology and art, to describe an idealized version of oneself or a subject. In mythology, eidolons may represent souls or spirits, often depicted as ethereal beings that exist in a realm beyond the physical world.
