Satan was goated as a callback to Pan, one of the chthonic Hellenic gods (not to be confused with the Cthonian Hellenic gods. Ia! ๐๐๐ ).
Late stage Jesus was Apollonian rather than Dionysian so Satan, now a proper antagonist, inherited all the chthonic stuff.
It's also why (Pauline ~~Paulonian~~ as in the Apostle Paul -- I was thinking of Apollonian as above. Words.) Jesus is about asceticism where Satan is about indulgence.
Least. Creative religion. Ever.
