given your history, perhaps you know this already.
"in the hermeneutic writings of the Church Fathers,
Christ has a number of symbols or "allegories" in common with the devil. Of these I would mention the lion, snake (colluder, 'viper'), bird (devil = nocturna avis), raven (Christ = nycticorax, 'night-heron'), eagle, and fish.
Lucifer, the Morning Star, means Christ as well as the devil. Apart from the snake, the fish is one of the oldest allegories."
