    In John Milton‘s Paradise Lost, he’s practically a hero (specifically, an anti-hero) and one of the most sympathetic characters in literary history. Milton got into a lot of trouble for it at the time.

    In Dante‘s Inferno, the ninth circle of hell is Satan, frozen solid, in a block/pit of ice.

      Why didn’t Satan use the brimstone fires of hell to melt the ice? Is he stupid? /jk
