Helel ben Shahar, Day star, son of the morning or the devil himself a.k.a the light bearer in ancient texts... the same tittle was given to Christ, son of God, afterwards...
The mind is its own place, and in itselfCan make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n.What matter where, if I be still the same,And what I should be, all but less than heWhom Thunder hath made greater? Here at leastWe shall be free; th' Almighty hath not builtHere for his envy, will not drive us hence:Here we may reign secure, and in my choiceTo reign is worth ambition though in Hell:Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heav'n.
Milton Paradise Lost
"How art thou fallen from heaven O day-star, son of the morning! (Helel ben Shahar)How art thou cast down to the ground,That didst cast lots over the nations!And thou saidst in thy heart:'I will ascend into heaven,Above the stars of God (El)Will I exalt my throne;And I will sit upon the mount of meeting,In the uttermost parts of the north;I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;I will be like the Most High (Elyon).'Yet thou shalt be brought dow to the nether-world,To the uttermost parts of the pit."
Isaiah 14:12-15
Still not my favorite yet...
