Luzbel fue expulsado del cielo, junto con el ejército de ángeles rebeldes que arrastró consigo (Un grupo de inocentes querubines), por el Arcángel Miguel, como castigo por su rebelión, desde ese momento fue reconocido como el Ángel caído, portador de Luz, esto es, del logos (Quien entrega la sabiduría y el fuego a los hombres); pero también como arquetipo del supremo Rebelde, del primer separatista y autonomista universal, quien busca la libertad y la anarquía. En la polarización del espíritu medieval se produce lo que conocemos como maldad. Un invento de la cultura humana. Aquí se reinterpretan los clásicos ... |
