Piotr,
I quote from an earlier post:
 
~~~~~~~~~
> OK Piotr.  I think I might now understand it.  The Greek etymology for Lucifer is derived from morning or evening star which is now labeled the planet Venus (mythological identifications preceeded astronomy).  It was the Hebrew term <satan> that added the concept "adversary, accuser" and it came to be associated with the fallen angel apparently on the basis of Isaiah 14: "[12].

> Is this accurate?

Yep.

Apparently the term <satan> was added post-Sumerian.  This is all strictly hypothetical, but are we to assume that because the pre-Hebrews didn't have the term for <satan> there was no need to identify "evil"?

> OK.  Were you implying that the earliest of the religions imposed the image of evil satan on an otherwise Venus like world?

I didn't say anything of the kind either, and I don't think I quite understand what you mean.
