Attn: Jewish folks who read my journal! I have a favor to ask. Specifically, I have the impression that the "Judeo-" prefix in the italicized sentence to follow is somewhere from misleading to actively wrong. I wish one or two people with active familiarity with Judaism to confirm or deny this.
Haides should not be confused with the Judeo-Christian figure of Satan, for Haides is neither wicked nor a tempter.
(The problem is I really have no idea how much of the whole Satan/Lucifer/etc concept is derived from the Tanakh et al and Jewish thought and how much from the Old and New Testaments and Milton, Dante, et al and Christian thought. I know the Book of Job is pertinent, but that doesn't, like, help. And I do not want this project I'm on to misrepresent anybody.)
Thanks!
ETA: All answered, thank you!
