Lucifer, which means the bearer of light, in Greek mythology represented by Prometheus, who stole divine fire to give it to humans. The clergy naturally did not like this symbology, always doing everything to keep the people ignorant and for this reason, they turned Lucifer into a symbol of evil, just as they turned the snake that incited humans to eat from the tree of knowledge into sin. original. The true root of evil has always been the clergy for its own power and as a tool for the powerful which with a cultured people could not exist.

I would care as much as a news story about a sack of rice being stolen in China.

Nah, kind of hard to considering that Prometheus was written long after Genesis and the book of Isaiah which referred to Lucifer

When did the story of Prometheus came? I assumed the Greek myths either came before, or more or less at the same time as the Torah.

Ironic, I’ve seen a Satanist being the guardian / guide to a furry in a full Suit at a con.
The furry wasn’t the Satanist though.
