(bᵊ-Reish•itꞋ 27.11), the name שָׂעִיר – goat-like or satyr-like – has also been associated with עֵשָׂו-אֱדוֹם. As a result, עֵשָׂו-אֱדוֹם has been associated with the Greek satyr idol Pan.
That עֵשָׂו-אֱדוֹם-שָׂעִיר settled and conquered the land of the Sᵊir•imꞋ, הַר-שֵׂעִיר (capital of Ë•dōmꞋ at Bâ•tzᵊr•âhꞋ), firmly corroborated the association. This association with the Greek satyr idol Pan, in turn, shares a connection with Sâ•tânꞋ. This resulted in אֱדוֹם becoming the symbol of Sâ•tânꞋ – and Hellenist Greek – Christian – Rome! This connection, in turn, further connected (see Sâ•tânꞋ) with the "Great Whore of Babylon, the Mesopotamian idol Ishtar (morphed into Greek Aphrodite, morphed into Roman Venus, morphed into Latin Lucifer).
