I always felt sorry for Lucifer. I mean, here's this Roman God, directly connected to the Greek Titan Prometheus. Prometheus was known as "The Friend of Mankind", for he was the one who when man was freezing cold, gave him fire. Now, he got the fire from the Sun, stealing it from Apollo against Zues' orders, and so was punished for a long time by being tied down to a rock and having a eagle come eat his liver every day (it grew back). He was eventually freed. Now here's a God who likes people. He suffered because he helped people. And now his name is attached with the ultimate evil. It just isn't fair.

(For the record, to the Romans "Lucifer" was symbolized in the sky as the Morning Star, which we know is Venus. The Evening Star the Romans called Venus, which we know is also Venus. Seems the Romans, at least the peasantry, didn't realize that there was only one planet there. And Mercury got two names too, being known as Vulcan in the evening.)
