But Satan is called Lucifer in many writings later than the Bible, notably in Milton's Paradise Lost (7.131–134, among others), because, according to Milton, Satan was "brighter once amidst the host of Angels, than that star the stars among."
Namun, Satan disebut Lucifer di banyak tulisan selain Alkitab, yang terkenal Paradise Lost Milton (7.131-134, di antaranya), karena, menurut Milton, Satan "kadang lebih terang di tengah-tengah malaikat, daripada bintang-bintang di antaranya." ^
