---

satan First Knew Pain, from Gustave Doré’s illustration for an 1884 edition of Paradise Lost. Satan is writing on the ground He has bat-like wings and wars only a short kilt - his chest and feet are bare. He has just been wounded in the side by the Archangel Michaels sword and has fallen to the ground. Maybe he should have worn Kevlar™ body armour.
