• Discussing representations of the devil is at least as complicated as discussing the devil itself. The appearances of specific forms of the devil are closely related to the evolution and changes of the notion of the devil. The more “good” and “evil” begin to polarize, the more their representations begin to differentiate; evil gradually evolves from the notion of chaos (Ricoeur 1998, pp. 175. ff.; Cohn 1994, pp. 78–89). The creature incarnating chaos is an adversary of creation in ancient eastern myths and in the Old Testament (McGinn 1995, pp. 36–40; Léon-Dufour 1987, cols. 1149–1150; Vanyó 1988,
