When you say modern myth, do you mean neopaganism?

yes, not exactly but something like that

for example we just classified gods by ranks

and we classified demons

in old norse system we can't know the difference of troll, giant and jotunn

but now we can tell the difference easily

also daimon in past including many random gods such as genius (genii is plural) because daimon literally meaning is divine fate, but now daimons are limited to greco-roman minor-gods

lamia, gorgons, oni, yoko, kasha, daeva etc... wasn't classified as demons in past, because the current concept of demons come with christianity, in past devil and fiend including any evil being because they wasn't know if they are demonic or not

modern version of Asmodeus and Shidem are demonic genie-like beings, originally Shidem are pagan deities I don't sure about Asomdeus, that the difference of folklore and mythology, the mythology what come from religions only not fanfictions or traditions, yes shidem in judaism are also pagan deities not just mesopotamian shidu but in folklore they are demons
