Lucifer and Prometheus

Posted by Bob in History on 10/22/2004

“Lucifer” means “giver of light.” It became the name of Satan.

Prometheus was the Greek god who gave fire to mankind. For this the gods condemned him to eternal punsihment.

I wonder if there is a common root. Or did “Lucifer” come from Prometheus among the Greek Jews who became Christians.
