Across literature, the word "tempter" is deployed as a richly textured symbol of moral and spiritual seduction, often personifying deceptive influence or evil itself. In classical poetry and epic works—most notably by John Milton in Paradise Lost and related verses ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11])—the Tempter is frequently capitalized and depicted as a cunning force that ensnares both mortals and divine figures, embodying Satan or an analogous demonic presence ([12], [13]). Meanwhile, its usage also extends to works outside sacred or epic narratives; for instance, in novels like The Mill on the Floss and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall ([14], [15]), the term underscores personal moral trials, while in texts as diverse as The Scarlet Letter and Eugene Oneguine, it serves to question authority or seduction with a lighter, even ironic tone ([16], [17]). Ultimately, whether evoked as a mythic personification or a figure of everyday moral temptation, the term "tempter" assumes layers of meaning that resonate across genres and historical contexts.
