In
Roman folklore, Lucifer ("light-bringer" in Latin) was the name of the planet Venus, though it was often
personified as a male figure bearing a torch. The Greek name for this planet was variously
Phosphoros (also meaning "light-bringer") or
Heosphoros (meaning "dawn-bringer").[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer#cite_note-EBLCM-10][10][/url] Lucifer was said to be "the fabled son of
Aurora[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer#cite_note-Auffarth-11][11][/url] and
Cephalus, and father of
Ceyx". He was often presented in poetry as heralding the dawn.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer#cite_note-EBLCM-10][10][/url]
