The worship of demons can be observed in a great many cultures throughout history. Idols and statues and petroglyphs line the archaeological record continuing even into our day. They are used by used as symbols of power (our demon is stronger than yours so don't mess with us) and are as gods to the people of these areas/times. That they enter men and women freely sometimes with horrific effect, the fear of such holding power over entire communities is observable as well. What they are scripturally and why they are allowed to remain is a frequent topic of debate, but Jesus' power over and that their time will suddenly end is not. Luke again collects pieces of evidence that could not be refuted by the reading audience of that day. Fame did go out that this historical Jesus of Nazareth did exhibit effective power over demons, it was one of many things that He was known for throughout Judea and elsewhere, it was a draw for people plagued by the demonic to go see Him. It was even accused of Him of being in kahoots with. To say that He wasn't known by people for this would have be counter productive to one's critique in that day.
