浅析撒旦在弥尔顿《失乐园》中的形象

龙源期刊网 浅析撒旦在弥尔顿《失乐园》中的形象作者:何其琪来源:《资治文摘》2017年第04期Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse written by British poet John Milton in the17thcentury。

John Milton first shapes a negative character Satan as a hero in the field of literature。

It subverts the conventional concept and integrates social ideals firmly。

Satan is not only an unyielding and rebellious hero but also a degenerate and cunning conspirator。

In this story,the formation of the double images of Satan makes the ideological content of the story sublimated。

Satan and his followers intend to fight against God。

They hold a meeting to discuss whether to have an adventure at the risk of life or not in order to rebuild their paradise。

Satan bravely volunteers to explore the new world race。

He insists on being against God on condition that his followers are begging for forgiveness。

简述失乐园中撒旦的形象外国文学有人认为,撒旦是人类失去乐园的祸根,最终受到上帝的惩罚。

但作为一个魔鬼,撒旦不是一个击即溃、头脑简单的傻瓜,否则耶稣所受的考验就称不上奇迹了。

对付人类,撒旦一计不成又升一计,所以人类上了他的当。

在天堂,他也同样不甘寂寞,首次谋反被打入地狱仍不甘心,甚至更加疯狂地鼓动再次造反,向“独揽大权,肆虐天庭”的上帝“进行一场永不调和的战争”。

的确,撒旦的演说慷慨激昂,非常精彩,制造出一派不战不休的气势。

如果我们把它与其创作时的历史背景联系起来,上帝才是一个专制、施暴者的化身。

因此作者从撒旦的形象上隐藏着作者对革命势力的悲哀,以及对暴君者们的嘲笑和讽刺。

在诗歌中,塑造了撒旦这一叛逆者的革命形象,作者以撒旦为资产阶级革命的代言人,颂扬了反叛专制暴政的资产阶级革命思想,而最终撒旦在对上帝的对抗中失败,从而失去天堂的乐园,寓意着资产阶级革命的失败和封建势力的复辟。

作者在感情上对撒旦的失败和受到的惩罚表达了同情之心,因为撒旦的失败和受到的惩罚,很像资本主义受封建权威的压迫。

但是由于诗人是一个虔诚的教徒,在理智上并不允许他对撒旦持肯定态度,这就造就了撒旦矛盾形象的另一面,也就是撒旦本性里恶的一面的表现。

撒旦的英雄形象主要表现在前两部,那是叛逆者的英雄气概。

诗人的宗教信仰决定了撒旦最后的命运,凡是违抗上帝旨意者,最终都会受到惩罚的。

人类也是如此,亚当和夏娃受到撒旦的诱惑,违背了上帝的旨意,最终被赶出了伊甸园,但是人类的被驱逐和撒旦的被驱逐也是有区别的。

亚当和夏娃在走出伊甸园时,他们对于自己的行为怀着深深的忏悔之心,圣子给予了他们启示,天使为他们指点未来,只要他们诚心忏悔,最终是会得到上帝的原谅的,他们是满怀着希望地走向了另一个世界。

而撒旦的结局却是迥然不同的,那是他罪有应得的,这是因为撒旦选择了孤注一掷的卑劣的报复,并且没有为他的报复行为产生悔恨之意。

在成功地诱惑了人类,使无辜的人类受到上帝的惩罚时,撒旦欢呼自己的胜利,但是此时他却发现,他以及他的徒众都变成了令人厌恶的蛇,也使我们最终认清了撒旦的真实面目,他依旧是一个邪恶的魔鬼,这也是撒旦在《失乐园》中最后的形象。

《失乐园》中对撒旦人物形象的全面分析

A comprehensive analysis of Satan in Parasise Lost张煜婷西北师范大学外国语学院甘肃省安宁区西北师范大学蓝天公寓1号楼302室 730070AbstractIf ancient Greek mythology can be compared to the rich soil of western literature, the Bible can definitely be regarded as the rhizome of western literature, which has absolutely influenced the western literature extensively and profoundly.Literary outputs about the characters and their stories in the Bible also appeared in the English literature of the 17th century, among which John Milton's long verse-- Paradise Lost undoubtedly becomes the most holy name. The role of Satan has become a stylish symbol of complex connotation in the literature history after Milton’s recreation. This thesis aims to try to analyze the character comprehensively from the following several angles.Key words: Paradise Lost Milton Satan character AnalysisForeword:The political circle of England the in 17th centry was under a turbulent condition thus the comparatively tempestuous political status turns out to be nutrient-rich soil which suitably breeds the literature. We can safely draw the conclusion from certain perspective that litterateurs prefer to put their faith in the pursuit of the spiritual realm when they cannot make their ideal demands cannot be fulfilled in the real world. In a manner of speaking ,Milton can definitely be included in this category,which contains all these writers who have run their heads against a stone wall in the real world and then indulge themselves in the spiritual realm to get themselves satisfied and entertained. Milton is just such kind of persons,He exactly created and finished the work –Paradise Lost of his literary outputs when the Republic is bombed into oblivion because of Charles II’s vast and mighty restoration of dethroned monarch and he has to finish such a great work despite of his blindness. So to speak, Paradise Lost is not just the masterpiece among Milton’s literature work, but also the representative works of significanceof the English literature in the 17th centry. The rebellion of Adam and Eve and also the rebellion of Satan composed the two plot lines of the narration, but as the only man alive in the entire article, Satan has absolutely been regarded as the definite representative of Soul Man in English literature of this period. John Milton has shaped diversity of outstanding images in his long verse Paradise Lost , among which, the image of Satan has got the most praise from all around and has been regarded as the most controversial character at the same time.For different people tend to choose different ways to interpret and get various conclusions, this thesis will set forth the image interpretation in the following ways.First: the embodiment of evil natureThere used to be some kind of Erroneous zone when analyzing the image of Satan, these analyzers turned out to tend to magnify the heroism of Satan without limitation. They always hold the point that Satan is nothing but a definite hero without any disputes. Any interpretation of an image in literature should not be separated from the text itself and surmise wantonly, we should analyze the characters based on the original, only in this way can we get scientific and reasonable interpretation.At the beginning of the story in Paradise Lost, Satan has once said that: “Our task is definitely not doing good, and do you want to find the only way to get pleasure? Let us do evil! Even if it has to suffer, I am still sure that it is the only way.”It not difficult to get the perspective that John Milton had drew a final conclusion of Satan, he is no means a hero no matter what kind of heroic deeds he had done. Because Satan as himself, the embodiment of evil, all the starting points of all his behaviors are based on evil, and all the final objectives of his actual deeds are to achieve the evil goals. And also the figure of Satan, his embodiment of evil expression also can be found in what he does and how he behaves. In most parts of the paradise lost most description of Satan focus on how he takes advantage of human beings and then take revenge to the almighty God. Just like the image of Zeus in the Greek mythology whose daughter Athena was born from his head, Satan gave birth to his daughter from his head and named her Crime. It seems that his daughter Crime represents the word “evil”, she always appears together with the crime and evil, and was presented to all the human beings exactly before their eyes. Perhaps all these indicated that it is inevitable to become the crime as the daughter of Satan,theembodiment of the devil nature. Bad things usually cannot be stopped easily. Things happened much worse than what you can imagine. Satan committed incest with his charming daughter and gave birth to the one called Death. Milton by means of shape the character of Satan as the nature of guilty, tends to deliver such a message that if you cannot resist tempt of the evil, you are doom to suffer the death because of the crime that comes along.Second: The history of a hero’ corruptionThere used to be many significant comments from a lot of professionals in varety of disciplines.Among all these comments,the comment of the English wirter and reviewer,C. S. Lewis has commented in cassic words:from a hero to a general,then from the general to a politician,then from the politician to a nark,and then from the nark to a rascal ,who can only take a furtative glance from the bedroom or bathroom, and then becomes a toad and at last he turns to be the snake –that is the corruption process of Satan. Satan used to be an angel origrnally but he was endowed the complex emotions and eversating human desire. That exactly is what makes him possess intense human nature.He can put up with rosing the battle, but when he saw his companions were burned by the fire,his tels run like a bubbling spring .Even if he can not resist the weakness from his inner heart , he can not take control his own emotions at this moment and he can not help to letting the human nature which hides deep his tough body break out .He is bold and generous, but he sometimes can allso feers his regret and des peration. He hate the brilliant sun,because the bright and shining sun reminds him of his quondm glory.All these reflects his human sense.But at the same time he wanted to take the place of the god and build his own empire. He used to regard himself as benchmark of measuring all the things on the earth and treated himself as the core centre of the universe,and whatever he does and no matter he behaves, he should be forgiven obvilusly, the character of Satan is not a hero without faults.It is not difficult to get the meassage he is a contradictory image.The image of Satan, which was depicted John Milton was not only an outstanding and distinct character filled with rebellion spirit but also a trahic charater.Conceit brutallity and indulgence have made his life totally out of control. Satan himself has to live in tragedy.The corruption of Satan makes himeself suffer and he can never be forgiven. He can not turn to anybody to confess his guilty and he has no means to liberate himself and that is the destiny of the tragic image of Satan.In the end parts of the long verse, the image becomes more negilible ,insignificant and obscene,until he becomes a disgusting nuisance snake with his mouth chewong bitter ashes in his mouth. But what we have to point out is that ,Satan is a betrayer with nobel beauty. He is a typical representative who are unwilling to become a lacker, who are reluctant bowing to the authorites. He doed not want to comply with the God without any principles. He wants to be the God of himself and is filled with the spirit of rebellion. When he was driven out of th paradise and thrown into the fire of hell, he is still suffused with persevering spirit, he is still brimming with tough will, he is also full of resentment. And he has swore to continue to omnipoten with the almighty God who can never be challenged and suspected.Reading all his barve words and seeing his behaviors to conquer all these difficulties by taking advantage of his unbending volition, we can not help ourselves to come to realize that Satan maybe is the real leading character in this long verse and may have reflected the image with the freedom of will.Satan belongs to such kind of people, who has unswerving will and the fervent heart of revenge, who never give up struggle and rebellion. he is indomitable ,emulative and he is never discouraged. He is a rebellion hero who fight for equalty and liberty and a revolutionist who dares to set up with the unyieling and unbending fight towards the majesty paramountcy. and we also can not deny the fact that his a man who lusts for power, who is self-important and presumptuous and there is no doubt that he is a reprobate who has fallen dowm. He is the mixture of both rational principles concurrent ideology. He indeed was fighting for equalty and liberty and he is also gets his behaviors restrained by the truth.John Milton’s Paradise Lost can definitely be defined as profundity ,dignity, rectification and exquisiteness. The long verse was regarded as the greastest art work in the English literature, and it is the art work which is seldom can be encountered. And in the world literature history ,the Paradise Lost can compare favorably with Divine Comedy and Faust. This masterpiece bring the image of Satan to the eyes of all these people, vividly and integratedly. This image seems to haveheen paid more attention to and he is so mature, with flesh and blood. He was shining at first and started to dink down when he was evicted from the Garden of Eden. In a word, his image is so vivid and unforgettable.Under Milton’s writing,Satan at first was a real hero, that is what has nothing to be doubted. His heroism lies in the fact that he dares to challenge the majesty paramountcy and the struggling spirit that has left out. He lead these rebellion angels to do battle towards the God in order to overturn his dictatorial rule. Satan was the first person who have the minds to doubt the God’s authority. He do not want submit to someone blindly ,he is unwilling to submit ,he doed not throw in the sponge and what more he always keeps his chin up. He has a long head and has planned in advance ,aiming to get the best results.Satan was depicted as the embodiment of evil nature, we cannot overlook the quality of heroism shined on him, especially in the first two volumes in Paradise Lost, even when he was expelled out from the Garden of Eden after his failure of rebellion Satan still raised his arm and shouted to his followers:”Even if we are swallowed by the flames of hell, our will, our stubborn vengeance, our burning hatred which is rather hotter than the hell fire, they will continue to be our spear and shield, and make us all-conquering and invincible!”It is terribly hard for us to imagine such impassioned manifesto comes out from the mouth of Satan, the embodiment of evil. If we examine this paragraph of words vindicating himself separately, it much more seems like that a hero are still righteously indignant while speaking despite of his meeting with a misfortune. It is also strange that but it deliberately happens that the appropriate verse which was widely used to praise these heroes who fight for freedom and liberty and turns out to set themselvesin the adverse situation precisely comes out from the mouth of Satan who was the embodiment of evil nature. So we can safely draw the conclusion that there do exist some shining points on the character of Satan, which in deed has some effect in cheering us up. This image embodied not only heroic spirit but also lofty beauty. Satan has been shaped to the real hero. Some scholars think that Satan represents erotic feeling and imaginative soul. They hold the point that the writer portrayed Satan incisively and vividly when compared to the description of the angels and the God. Maybe this can be definitely regarded as the proof that the writer stand on the side of the devil while he was not aware of that himself. No matter how many comments on the image of Satan, and no matter how fierce these comments conflict, we have to admit that this character of Satan was shaped successfully as an artistic image. Especially when he was expelled out of the paradise and thrown into the hellish sea of fire, he was still suffused with persevering spirit and swore to continue to confront with the almighty God. But the image of evil hero exists only in the first two volumes in the Paradise Lost, with the plot development going on, when the key point of this poetry has been transferred to the Garden of Eden,all these shining points in Satan diminished without leaving even a track, because the head-on confrontation with the God has been changed to the indirect revenge to the God by attacking the human beings created by the God. Satan, he used to be tall and strong, pretty and handsome, he was the king among the angels. He has the illustrious status , only inferior to the God. Even he was expelled out of the Garden of Eden to the hell, his declaration of fighting against the God continuously still shocked the whole world.When he determines to change the Garden of Eden to the second battle ground, his image changed dramaticly, he becomes a toad, which was uglyand nasty, and at last he turned to be a disgusting snake. The previous image which was gallant and stalwart died away, leaving no evidence of his once existence. There is no doubt that definitely how a glittery hero transforms himself and come down in the world to a “coward” that everybody feels shamed to mention. In the same manner, the original praise of the rebellious spirit was taken place by the sad calls of the hero in his late life.And all these forms the best Portrayal of one hero’s corruption history. And all these make Satan a dominant one among all the representative individuals who were the most completed and detailed and that is also where the charm lies in.Conclusion:In a manner of speaking, hundreds of year later, the writer-Milton had passed way and he cannot speak any more , he cannot unscramble the character images any longer to the live people. Then the text becomes the only analysis foundation. The image of Satan comes into our eyes visually with the intrinsic quality of evil and also together with the corruption of a hero. That’s what we should regard as the principle and benchmark when we try to interpret the image comprehensively.参考文献:[1]弥尔顿.失乐园[M].上海:上海译文出版社.1984.[2]李进超.撒旦:丑恶的魔鬼与叛逆的英雄——从《圣经》到弥尔顿的《失乐园》[J].天津大学学报(社会科学版).2010(04)[3]郝春雨.约翰·弥尔顿《失乐园》撒旦的人物性格浅析[J].佳木斯教育学院学报.2011(05)[4]施密特. 基督教对文明的影响[M].北京: 北京大学出版社,2004.[5]哈罗德·布鲁姆.西方正典[M].江宁康译.南京: 译林出版社,2005.[6]弥尔顿.失乐园[M].长沙: 人民出版社,1987.[7]威廉·布莱克.布莱克诗集[M].上海: 上海三联书店,1999.[8]唐梅秀.布莱克对弥尔顿的误读[J].天津外国语学院学报, 2005(6).[9]常艳莉.浅析约翰·弥尔顿《失乐园》的创作目的和革命主题[J].东北农业大学学报,2007(5).[10]马克思恩格斯. 论文学与艺术[M].北京:人民出版社,1982。

路西法和撒旦

路西法和撒旦

路西法和撒旦路西法(Lucifer)和撒旦(Satan)是基督教中两个知名的恶魔形象,经常被用来描述邪恶的力量和堕落的本质。

虽然这两个名字经常被混淆使用,但实际上它们代表着两个不同的实体,各自有着独特的特征和背景。

要理解这两个恶魔形象的真正含义,我们需要深入探讨它们的起源和历史。

首先,让我们了解一下路西法。

根据基督教经典《圣经》中的记载,路西法最初是一个由上帝造就的天使,居住在天堂中。

他的名字在希伯来语中意为“光明之子”,象征着他在天堂的光辉形象。

然而,他因为对上帝的傲慢和觊觎上帝的地位而被驱逐出天堂,从此成为了堕落天使的领袖。

路西法的堕落使他变成了恶魔,他在地狱中继续引诱人类堕入邪恶之中。

撒旦,又被称为魔鬼,是在基督教中被描绘为邪恶的神秘存在。

与路西法不同,撒旦没有起源于天堂,而是作为神创造的上古生物之一,在地狱中孕育而生。

《圣经》中描述撒旦是造成人类堕落的元凶,他背离了上帝的旨意,并诱惑了亚当和夏娃吃下禁果,从而犯下了原罪。

虽然路西法和撒旦在基督教教义中都被描述为邪恶的存在,但它们的角色和形象略有不同。

路西法通常被描绘为一个美丽而迷人的堕落天使,他具有智慧和诱惑力,能够引诱人类走上邪恶之路。

撒旦则被描绘为一个丑陋和恶毒的存在,以阴险和破坏为乐。

不同的形象反映了他们对人类的诱惑方式和目标的不同。

关于路西法和撒旦的形象,还有许多文化作品中的描绘和想象。

不少文学作品中,这两个恶魔形象被用来探讨人性的黑暗面和内心的恶意。

例如,弗兰克·贝尔(Frank Bealer)的畅销书《撒旦小姐:拯救西消失的孩子们》描绘了一场关于人类灵魂与恶魔之间战斗的故事,引人深思。

此外,路西法和撒旦的形象也经常在电影和电视剧中出现。

经典的电影《罗斯玛丽的婴孩》中,撒旦的形象被描绘为一个邪恶而有力量的存在,给主人公带来了巨大的痛苦和苦难。

而在电视剧《Supernatural》中,路西法则是一个让人们闻风丧胆的堕落天使,他被描绘得非常复杂而又有吸引力。

撒旦的文学原型与象征-2019年文档资料

撒旦的文学原型与象征-2019年文档资料

撒旦的文学原型与象征众所周知, 古希腊文明深刻地影响了西方文艺的发生和发展而另一支文明――古希伯莱文明对西方文化的影响同样不容低估。

作为希伯莱文明的集大成作品一一《圣经》,它不仅仅是一部民族的宗教历史典籍, 它还是一部艺术性和思想性极强的文学名著。

《圣经》中塑造的神和人的形象成为各种原型, 不断地在日后的文艺作品中出现, 构成丰富的人物画廊。

其中有一个形象非常独特且影响深远, 甚至可以说在任何一部文学作品中都可以看到他的影子, 这个形象就是魔鬼撒旦(Satan) 。

据《圣经》记载, 撒旦曾经是上帝座前的六翼天使,负责在人间放置诱惑, 后来他堕落成为魔鬼, 被看作与光明力量相对的邪恶、黑暗之源。

撒旦作为恶的原型, 其形象和作为多次出现在《圣经》文本中: 旧约创世记第三章的蛇, 就是代表撒旦; 约伯记第二章第一节特别提到, 在神面前控告约伯的是撒旦; 历代志上第二十一章第一节也提到, 是撒旦令大卫数点以色列人的;撒迦利亚书第三章又说,撒旦在神面前与约书亚作对。

新约里也有不少经文都见证撒旦的存在:每一位新约作者都提到撒旦; 基督自己就提过撒旦二十多次。

新约旧约都提到不少撒旦的名字, 有时称为路西弗,有时称为基路伯, 有时称为蛇等等, 这些都是撒旦这个原型人物存在的证据。

撒旦不仅存在, 还有独特个性。

《圣经》中的人物形象塑造普遍简约, 撒旦的性格约有三方面比较突出: 曾经的智与美的化身――以西结书第二十八章第十二到十五节描写未堕落前撒旦在神面前拥有崇高的地位, 天上的美物环绕他, 他称为受膏遮掩约柜的” , 他在神面前拥有至高的尊荣。

以赛亚书第十四章第十二节提到, 他是至高的天使, 称他为“明亮之星、早晨之子” ; 强烈的贪欲――以赛亚书第十四章十四节写道: 第十三、你心里曾说“我要升到天上, 我要高举我的宝座在神众星以上我要坐在聚会的山上, 在北方的极处; 我要升到高云之上, 我要与至上者同等”。

[1] 五个“我要”极言其贪; 诡诈――他定意要打败基督做“至高者” , 在神的宝座上建立他的宝座, 超过其他天使, 所以挑拨离间人神关系, 诱惑人类。

弥尔顿失乐园中撒旦的形象分析

弥尔顿失乐园中撒旦的形象分析
is brave and wisdom. He is tired of flattering God and takes arms to fight for freedom. When being faced with God’s mighty power, Satan doesn’t act as a coward(懦夫). On the contrary, he appears even braver. He is not afraid of losing everything. Failure will only strengthen his will and his confidence. When he fall into the Hell, his speech asserts equality, freedom, and nobility of soul. He appears to demand a kind of heavenly democracy; hence, he wants to get freedom. In this sense, Satan, under Milton’s description, is no longer the symbol of evil but stands for the justness, liberty and equality. Also, he is wisdom and capable.
Th’ inferal serpent; he it was whose guile, Stirred up with envy and revenge, deceived The mother of mankind, what time his pride Had cast him out from Heaven, with all his host Of rebel Angels, by whose aid, aspiring To set himself in glory above his peers, He trusted to have equal’d the Most High, If he opposed, and with ambitious aim Against the throne and monarchy of God, Raised impious war in Heaven and battle proud With vain attempt.

论《失乐园》中satan的形象商业故事BUSINESSSTORY130企业文化?Companyculture摘要:本文以《失乐园》作品中的satan 为研究对象,首先介绍了《失乐园》这部作品的主要内容;接着综合分析了satan 的人物形象;接着又展现出satan 的转变过程;最后揭露出satan 具有的隐喻意义,包括诗人自身的隐喻意义,社会背景下的隐喻意义。

希望可以为satan 的人物形象研究提供有价值的参考意见,为《失乐园》这部作品的阅读进行一定的点拨。

关键词:《失乐园》 satan 人物形象转变过程隐喻意义引言:文通过详实的论述,揭示了失乐园中不一样的撒旦形象。

作品《失乐园》中的撒旦形象具有太多争议,有人说他是自由主义的代表,有人说他终究改变不了是恶魔的本质,他的反抗与抗争,只是他权利与野心的外加战袍,他狂妄的言辞,虚假光辉的外表,哗众取宠的主张无一不说明他虚弱而又邪恶的本质,其的堕落与原罪,则体现的是内心深处的野心和欲望,是劣根性的外在表现。

作为读者,只有抓住人物形象的本质,才能更好地理解作品。

一、《失乐园》中主要内容《失乐园》是十七世纪著名诗人弥尔顿所著具有史诗级意义的长诗,与其其他两篇《复乐园》《力士参孙》并称为其代表作,而其中《失乐园》是世所公认的具有代表性的充满反抗意识追求自由主义的新时期作品。

其以《圣经》作为原型,借用其中的上帝、撒旦、亚当和夏娃作为原型,讲述了原为大天使的撒旦不满于上帝的统治,与上帝进行了长达三天三夜的斗争,在斗争失败被投入地狱之后决心复仇,引诱人类始祖亚当和夏娃偷食禁果从而被投入地狱的故事。

在《失乐园》中,弥尔顿在前六卷中具体详尽的描述了上帝与撒旦的矛盾与斗争,并在第六卷中描述了上帝与撒旦长达三天三夜的大战过程;而在后半部分中则讲述了上帝创造人类万物的过程以及撒旦决心报复的心理过程的产生,最后亚当和夏娃没有经受得住诱惑,无视上帝的警告偷食禁果被逐出乐园的全过程。

宗教词汇解析~关于魔鬼之名

宗教词汇解析~关于魔鬼之名

撒旦(Satan),圣经中的恶魔(或称魔鬼撒旦),反叛耶和华的堕落天使(Fallen Angels)。

他曾经是上帝座前的六翼天使,负责在人间放置诱惑,后来他堕落成为魔鬼,被看作与光明力量相对的邪恶、黑暗之源。

(1)“撒旦”,于西伯来文中,乃敌对者、剧毒的光辉使者……等之意。

(2)“撒旦”之名,并非一个实名,仅为号称。

(3)“撒旦”一词,意味著“最恶的”之意,乃形容词化身的名词。

魔鬼撒旦,是一个普及的错误观念,与基督教等的刻意误导。

整体说起来,“撒旦”一词从来都不是一个存在的名字,仅仅为一个“恶”的代名词与形容词,意味著“行恶事的人”、“背道而驰的敌人”等等。

当“撒旦”二字成了史诗中那有名的堕落者的代名词后,其实也只仅仅代表了他是“最恶的”、“恶极的”──从来都不是该者在堕落后的名字。

称作“撒旦”的人选一般被大家称为“撒旦”的人选有四:1.“晨星”路西法(Lucifer)2.“古蛇”萨麦尔(Samael)3.地狱六君王4.撒旦叶在谈路西法或萨麦尔之前,有必要在天界的历史线点出很重要的一点──那就是天堂中,出现过两次类似的叛变:第一次,是在神造世界之时,亚当和夏娃诞生于伊甸园。

第二次,则是神子耶稣于天上诞生前,大可说是约近代“西元”的零年。

Satan:撒旦,堕落之王。

圣经中没有明指撒旦就是路西法(LUCIFER)。

圣经上的记载是说撒旦原先为天使中最高位的大天使长,后来率领天界三分之一的天使叛变,“不幸”战败,被打入永劫的无底洞Abyss中,其他所有跟随他的天使则都蜕变成丑恶的形象。

据说只有Lucifer仍然保有天使光辉的六翼形象,但是圣经中并没有明显的记载指Satan就是Lucifer,在启示录第十二章(The Book of Revelation Chapter 12) 中叙述了Satan与天界的战争,但是并没有提及Lucifer这个名字。

后来种种纷争和混淆的说法,多半是与后代的文学创作者有关(如《失乐园》)。
