What is the Satanic Temple? Published 27 July Published 19 May Amenadiel later revealed he made up the rumour as a joke but the notion of the Devil being a goat is rooted deep in mythology and Christian theology. For centuries, artists have depicted the devil in various forms — as a demon, snake, dragon, goat and other animals.
In early Christian mythology, angels and devils are portrayed as beings of spirit and do not have physical bodies. Depictions of the Devil first appeared in medieval art, some point between the fifth and ninth centuries. At this time, the Devil was often characterised with hooves, hairy legs, the tail of a goat and a set of horns.
The idea of Satan as a goat may stem from the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats, recorded in Matthew , when Jesus separates sheep symbolising the saved and goats representing the damned.
In the mosaic, Jesus, dressed in purple, is separating the goats and the sheep between two angels. In some strands of Christianity, Lucifer became the name associated with an archangel before he fell from heaven to hell and became Satan, the ruler of hell. Lucifer season 5: Who are the 7 Archangels? The wings of Satan were a medieval addition.
At that time, angels, like Michael, were portrayed with feathered wings resembling those of birds, creatures of the day. Satan and the fallen angels were portrayed with bat wings.
Bat Conservation International notes that medieval Europe was not the only civilization to use bat wings on evil gods. They note that the Mayan god, Cama-Zotz, was depicted with bat wings and lived in the darkness through which the dead had to pass.
Again, we have gods of ancient religions to thank for this image. The Greek god, Poseidon called Neptune by the Romans , was depicted with a trident — which is more commonly what Satan is shown with rather than a four-tined pitchfork. Poseidon was the god of earthquakes and the sea. Ancient Hebrews viewed the sea as a place of monsters, such as the Leviathan mentioned in the Book of Job Also the Hindu god, Shiva the Destroyer, carries a trident.
