If this link is correct, it suggests that Satan originally represented a primal, rebellious force, much like the Titans in Greek mythology—ancient deities who opposed the Olympian gods. Gershenson even points out that the Greek name for Satan, Teitan (Τειτάν), sounds almost identical to Titan.
The overall idea: Satan’s name may not just mean “accuser,” but may reflect an older mythic pattern of divine challengers, paralleling the Titans’ opposition to Zeus. Saturn/Cronus in Roman and Greek myth—leader of the Titans—would then function as a mythological analogue to the later figure of Satan as leader of rebellious angels.

im no satanist by any means, but i find it absolutely mind blowing that people can say that he wants your soul, blood sacrifice, rape, murder and slavery.. when there is literally no text thst exists at all in which it is said he wants these things and when you read the old testament it is actually god that does and condones everything we would consider “Satanic”.
but considering that Christianity is no more than a rehashing of cherry picked stories, im not surprised in the slightest that you found a connection to the titans, funny enough, in thr book of Enoch, he doesnt call it hell, he calls is tartarus.. could be from translations, or the fact that all christian stories are just stolen from older traditions
Satan is not an entity, its a title. People confuse Satan with the devil, which was a construct of evil created by Milton in Paradise Lost, further confusing Lucifer with Satan and the Devil. You need to go beyond the Hebrew to the Greek to clean up all the confusion.
