Theory
Lucifer from Christianity and Apollo from Greek mythology are the same person
I wanna see more people talk about it.
I am maybe Jewish, but I'm currently obsessed with the character of Lucifer in the Christianity or as they are known in Judaism, Samael, and sometimes also known as Satan.
He's so similar to Apollo from Greek mythology. Greek mythology was my obsession before I took an interest in Jewish borderline Christian mythology. (Specially the concepts of heaven and hell, more specifically angels and more specifically hyperfixiate on Lucifer/Samael/Satan and how their character is perceived in cultures).
Apollo and Lucifer are the same person. I saw some references of Lucifer to Venus but I never saw about someone talk about their similarity to Apollo.
- living in the kingdom of celestial beings like them that is high in the sky.
- a very strong light relation- Apollo the god of light and sun between other things, he has a very strong relation to everything related to light.
Lucifer the light bringer, even Lucifer former name, Samael, have a meaning related to light in Hebrew. סמאל/סמאאל comes from the Hebrew word סמא that has a light related meaning (a very strong light), and the word אל (el) that means god (Like in Gabriel, Michael, Ezrael, and etc). Or in other words, the light of God.
- The one who brings the light (Lucifer the light bringer, Apollo in his chariot)
- The young child of the big mighty god that tried to overthrown their dad the big old dad and started a rebellion. Apollo tried twice to take over Zeus revenge his dad. And Lucifer also started a rebellion against God to revenge and overthrown him. And as their punishment their dad casts them down to earth from the kingdom in the sky.
- related concepts of beauty and appearance related to light. Apollo is the model of male beauty in ancient Greece. Both men and women adores him. He's described as golden because of his relation to sun and light. Lucifer is the prettiest among the angels, he had golden hair and white wings, giving him a very golden and maybe even pure appearance.
- related concepts of passions and enjoyment. Apollo is more a character of revelry lifestyle (not to confuse with Dionysus that also have a relation to this) and the arts professions, encourage people to become more free. Lucifer also encouraging people to follow their pleasures, to sin, and party and become more free. Lucifer is just want to free people
Basically they both just tell you to enjoy and do what you love and want.
Again, young beautiful rebel child of the big mighty God in a kingdom in the sky with a strong relation and appearance related to light started a rebellion, their dad casts them to earth for their "sins", the light bringer, encourage people to do what they want and follow their passions.
Maybe it's a coincidence, I don't know (it's not)
Anyway what's your opinion? Can you find more characters in other mythologies that are similar and also in this pattern? I would like to know
shout out to the guy in the lobby who sat next to my wife talking on the phone about haunted doll exorcism methods and listed Samael as his source.
his last words as my wife walked away were
"There is one magic man left"
I come out of the back, grinning and waving at my wife
"Two. Two left"
Amo a Eva!! <333 su diseño es muy hermoso, pensas profundizar sobre ella? O que solo quede su diseño?
Gracias!!! And Oh, hay mucho sobre ella que tal vez no he hablado mucho pero tomaré esta oportunidad para hablar sobre ella, en inglés por si no es mucha molestia :’D Si no, luego hago la traducción en español.
About Eve:
Eve is one of my oldest ocs in the Hazbin fandom and the one that has gone through more changes than any of my other ocs. I developed her along side @classofthetoptrash ‘s Samael and their relationship in the course of around one or two years, I can’t remember clearly.
Yes, Eve is that Eve. The second wife of Adam, the mother of human kind and the one who took the bite of the apple.
After Lilith was kicked out of Eden, Eve was created out of Adam’s rib and given the role to be his wife. While in Eden, she was blessed with a very outgoing, friendly, kind, naive and charismatic personality, she was quick to befriend those angels who would look after both her and Adam and she learned their secrets that taught her how to plant and cultivate plants faster than naturally possible.
While she was there, she met an angel by the name of Samael. At first the angel was shy around her but they both slowly grew to be very close, perhaps too close. Eve would escape to go meet Samael away from Adam and any other angel around all the time in Eden. Eventually, one thing lead to another, Samael along with other angels were casted out of Heaven, Samael now a fallen Angel was manipulated by Lucifer to go tempt Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, Samael snuck into the garden tempting Eve and Eve trusting him she ate the fruit. She later convinced Adam to do the same, God found out and they were kicked out of Eden and left to fend for themselves.
God forgave and gave them anothe chance so Adam and Eve did what they could to survive; while Adam focused on hunting, cattle and building homes, Eve focused on her family, agriculture and keeping the home stable. Adam and Eve had Able and Cain, those two later died (Cain killed Able, Cain became the first human to sing and to go to Hell and Able the first human to go to Heaven) but in total, they had 28 kids.
Eve kept up with being a good mother and wife, was she happy? Not really, she loved her kids and Adam eventually got other wives God gave him but she slowly realized she never truly loved Adam but she continued on to live for her family up until she died.
Eve naturally found herself in Heaven, she is considered a Saint and was treated as such. It wasn’t until every child Eve had was in Heaven that God made an announcement: Eve would be given away to Satan.
This obviously wrecked havoc between Adam and Eve’s family, she didn’t do anything wrong so why was she being given away to a monster? God explained all of this had been already planned centuries ago and Eve’s role in this was important. Eve eventually agreed, God took her to the 9th Circle aka the Circle of Wrath, also known as the last and coldest of all the other circles.
At first she was terrified, going to a world of creatures she didn’t know anything about to marry a creature that had been described as a beast of pure evil her entire life and now she was going to be forced to marry him. Her stay was pleasant, the servants around the massive castle at least were nice to her but as her future husband to be...? Well... he wasn’t necessarily nice? Satan was temperamental, bossy, destructive and loud, it made poor Eve felt distraught at first but she quickly started standing up for herself and to talk back to him. Satan was stubborn, those two would always bicker at each other Satan for how he was and Eve scolding him for his behavior.
Eventually, overwhelmed by everything happening, Eve decided to leave the castle to possibly find another place she could be, anywhere else except thet castle. While she traveled the frozen desert that’s the 9th circle, while she was being attacked by the creatures that resided that area, Satan saved her from being eaten alive and brought her back to the castle. While angrily attending Satan’s wounds and scolding him for being so stupid for going after her and him expressing how stupid she was for leaving in the first place, they both came to an agreement that maybe they didn’t start off in good terms, neither side was even trying to at least know the other and they should try to start from the beginning, perhaps give it a try.
With time, Satan and Eve became friends, they became close and made an effort to get to know each other. Eve reunited with Lilith who she considers a sister and with her son Cain. Overtime, Satan and Eve fell in love and they married.
Haha, well, I wish it ended there.
During the wedding, perhaps when Eve was in the aisle or in front of Satan, she noticed something familiar about him.... Samael.
All this time, Satan turned out to be actually Samael, her best friend in Eden, her first friend, her lover. She was beyond happy to be marrying him, the man she always loved ever since she was in that garden and indeed, God apparently did had a plan for everyone. Even for such a peculiar pair as Satan and Eve.
Samael belongs to @classofthetoptrash
Anyway, so what happened after that? Well, Samael and Eve are now married. Well, Eve has a tavern, her kingdom is a frozen desert so why not create a type of oasis? Her tavern appears randomly around the 9th circle and sometimes around Hell where, if you enter, not only is it a moment of peace from the chaos and a neutrak zone, but you get to eat food made by Eve herself, a meal made with a mother’s love. Heart warming, isn’t it? Too and it’s super rare to find the place, you have to be very lucky to find the tavern (the only ones they can come and go as they please are other fallen angels and nobles).
Kids! Want a plot twist? Turns out Cain is Samael’s kid not Adam’s (it is possible to have twins from two different dads btw) which explains a lot considering how Cain is as a person. Samael and Eve would later 13 kids, all of them which are deities or beings in other ancient civilizations and here is the list:
Samael and Eve’s kids
Cain - First human to sin and go to Hell.
Conquest/Plague - Horseman of the Apocalyse.
War- Horseman of the Apocalyse.
Famine - Horseman of the Apocalyse.
Death - Horseman of the Apocalyse.
Demeter - Ancient Greek goddess of Agricultute.
Dionysus - Ancient Greek god of fruitfulness, vegetation, wine and ecstasy.
Artemis - Ancient Greek goddesss of wild animals, the hunt, vegetation, chastity and childbirth
Idunn - Norse goddess of spring and rejuvenation.
Sif - Norse goddess of wheat, fertility and family.
Melinöe - Ancient Greek goddess of ghosts and spirits.
Makaria - Anciet Greek goddess of blessed death.
Lucious - The Antichrist.
Lucious is around the exact same age as Charlie (Hazbin Hotel). While Charlie has her Happy Hotel where she helps sinners to gain redemption, Lucious is the opposite. Lucious is convincing his uncle Lucifer to let him have some sinners for himself because, as I described it already, the 9th circle is the WORST circle in Hell: It’s frozen, there is always a snow storm, there is literally no cities nor civilizations there and if you do somehow find something roaming around that is a fallen Angel who will do ANYTHING to get and eat you alive. Lucious wants to change that, he wants to turn the 9th circle into a place where sinners get to survive and fend for themselves in a sick type of Hunger games where nobody wins. He is working alongside Charlie, he convinced her not everybody is good, not everybody is willing to change and they WILL take advantage of her kindness. So what do we do those sinners? Give them to Lucious, he’ll make those sinner’s stay in Hell already worse than it already was. It’s still a work in progress and eventually I’ll get to talk more about it in the future.
Anyway, that’s about it and as summarized as I could! Two years of development babyyyyy. Forgive me if I made any grammar mistakes, it’s almost 2am.
