Lucifer

"Sargasso of Lost Starships" seems to contain three Biblical references unless I find a fourth before I finish rereading. Donovan calls himself a Judas, thinks that Arzunian dancing is Lucifer-like and looks at Valduma:

"...as Lucifer must have looked back at Heaven." (p. 421)

Isaiah 14:12 apparently refers to the King of Babylon. Several Biblical passages converge into the concept of the Adversary.

12 “How lyou are fallen from heaven,

O 4Lucifer, son of the morning!

How you are cut down to the ground,

You who weakened the nations!

13 For you have said in your heart:

m‘I will ascend into heaven,

nI will exalt my throne above the stars of God;

I will also sit on the omount of the congregation

pOn the farthest sides of the north;

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,

qI will be like the Most High.’
