  Hesperus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hesperus is the personification of the evening star, the planet Venus.
His name is sometimes conflated with the names Eosphorus (Εώσφορος, "bringer of dawn"; Latin Aurora) or Phosphorus (Φώσφορος, "bringer of light", translated as Lucifer in Latin) since they are all personifications of the same planet Venus.
When named thus by the ancient Greeks, it was thought that Phosphorus and Hesperus (Venus in the evening) were two different celestial objects.

 Introduction to Venus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
The planet, being so close to the Earth is one of the brightest objects in the sky (besides the Sun and the Moon) and has been observed all the way to prehistoric times.
At one point in its history, Venus was thought to be two separate bodies, Eosphorus (the morning star) and Hesperus (the evening star).
It is named after the goddess of love and beauty probably because it is the brightest planet seen in the ancient times.

There are at least two references to the cognate Eosphorus in Hellenic myth, but they do not provide any record of his acts or personality.
Because of that, it would seem very strange to assume that the "Lucifer" of Leland's ARADIA was not the well-known Christian figure who, in the European witch myth, was considered the god or king of the witches, just as Diana or the cognate Hekati was considered their goddess or queen.
It has nothing to do with the classical Lucifer or Eosphorus, who in fact possessed contradictory astronomical attributes.

 The Arcane Archive - Lucifer
The one direct reference I have found -- a very brief mention of Eosphorus (the Greek cognate) in Hesiod's THEOGONY, 381-2 -- refers to Eosphorus as a star and not as a being.
I can find no reference to Lucifer or Eosphorus as possessed of any personality or ever having done anything except being born of Eos and Astraeus, and siring King Ceyx of Trachis and Leuconoe.
That is an absolutely clear reference to the Christian myth of the Fall.

 Venus - Planet Venus
Other than the Sun and the Moon, it is the brightest object in the night sky and is very easily visible in the night sky.
Like Mercury, ancient people popularly thought that Venus was two separate bodies - Eosphorus - the morning star and Hesperus - the evening star.
The lack of major impacts is explained by the fact that most object headed to Venus are probably burnt up in its atmosphere.

Perhaps the biggest problem I have with this work is the authors invective against the placing of Lucifer in the accounts of Italian Witchcraft in the 19th century.
The author seems oblivious to the fact that Lucifer was simply the Roman god of the morning star, the Greek Eosphorus, and in no way represented an evil deity in the Roman/Italian Pagan pantheon.
Images of Lucifer can be found at the Temple complex of Pyrgi dating from 6-500 b.c.e.
