Eidolon is a noun that refers to an idealized person or thing. The Greek word eidos (EE dose) means ‘form.’ An eidolon is the form of a perfect person or thing. Example: The character ‘Betty’ in the book didn’t seem very realistic to me. She seemed more like an eidolon. That author has used many idealized characters in the past.
