PhosporusIn Greek tradition, Phosporus was the personification of the evening star (Venus). Heosphoros in Homer and Hesiod denotes the morning star. (Heosphoros appears in the Septuagint to translate a word in Isaiah 14:12, that Jerome translates "Lucifer" in the 4th century Vulgate. See entry at Lucifer.)Modern Wiccan devotés and demonologists make Jerome's Lucifer the father of Aradia by Diana. Though they refer to a "Roman tradition," no such written myth exists. He was also the father of Ceyx. also spelled Phosphorus |
