1470	ENT_EGY_SETH	received_as	ENT_CHR_DEVIL	medium	Seth's reception as the Christian Devil operates through two parallel routes: (1) Plutarch (De Is. chs. 49-51) systematically equates Seth/Typhon with the principle of cosmic evil opposing Osiris/good — a dualism that Patristic authors absorbed into their cosmological framework. (2) In Late Antique Egypt, Seth was explicitly identified with Satan in Coptic Christian texts; his zoomorphic iconography (long-eared, fork-tailed, red-pelted "Seth animal") contributed to demonic iconographic vocabulary. The Seth→Devil chain is not as direct as Apollo→Apollyon, but the theological and iconographic influence is documented in Late Antique Egyptian Christianity.
