    -and I'm confused a bit, since the name Lucifer = the carrier (bringer)
    of light...

1044.8All devils?PENPAL::JAMESThu May 11 1989 13:0610
    Another mythological connection I always thought was interesting
    is that Prometheus, champion of man when the Olympians ruled, was
    punished *severely* when he brought fire to man...fire=light, for
    sure...is there a correlation between Prometheus=Lucifer=Satan?
    
    Could it be part of the bad press all other regions got at the hands
    of early Christians?

1044.9Minor Roman/Greek God.CADSYS::COOPERTopher CooperThu May 11 1989 13:4311
    Lucifer was the Roman name for the Greek god Phosphoros, the Morning
    Star (the planet Venus when it appears before the sunrise).  In poetry
    he was frequently refered to as the Herald of Dawn.  There are almost
    no known myths about Lucifer/Phosphorus, perhaps because by clasical
    times, when most of the extant myths were recorded, the identity of
    the Morning and Evening Stars (i.e., Venus/Aphrodite) was well known.
    
    In Christian legendry, Lucifer -- God's Personal Herald, and right-hand
    entity -- came to be Satan's name before his fall.
