The Surprising Origin of Shoulder Angels

Post by Riddick » 12-05-2024 01:53 PM

Shoulder angels and devils are part of our cultural imagination, but where did they come from? You've seen them in the Simpsons, the Emperor's New Groove and countless shows and movies. But the idea of a divided soul actually goes all the way back to ancient Greece.
