Since when is the Beast of “Beauty and the Beast” a goat-man with horns?

Here are previous versions of Beast, none of which is a goat-man with horns:

In the 19th century, Eliphas Levi drew the Baphomet as a Sabbatic Goat, a humanoid with a goat’s face, horns, and legs. Today, the Baphomet is widely used as a symbol of Satan, as in this statue (below) erected by the Satanic Temple last year somewhere in Detroit, Michigan. (See “Detroit goes to the devil“)

The message of Disney’s new Beauty and the Beast movie is this:

    The Devil is just misunderstood! The Devil loves you and wants to give you riches and finery! All you gotta do is tell him you love him, and he’ll turn into a handsome prince, and you’ll live happily ever after.

God help us.
