    " The brilliancy of the morning star, which eclipses all other stars, but is not seen during the night, may easily have given rise to a myth such as was told of Ethana and Zu: he was led by his pride to strive for the highest seat among the star-gods on
    the northern mountain of the gods [...] but was hurled down by the supreme ruler of the Babylonian Olympus"

    The brightest angel that fell from heaven because he wished to demonstrate that he loved God more than anyone else and was jealous on that account.

    What a wonderful way to describe human pretence and those who are narcissistic in proposing themselves before creation, writing rules/laws for nature while having no feeling for life within the greater Life of creation.

    The present motion of Venus behind the Sun as seen from a slower moving Earth on the opposite side of the solar system doesn't diminish the old stories and their relevance.
