Under Christianity, Astarte became the (male) demon Ashtaroth. Don't
have any dates for that available. His sigil in the Goetia (a
late-Medieval grimoire) features a five-pointed star (upright, I have
yet to find the stereotypical 'satanic inverted pentagram' in any occult
source before the 19th century.)
