I would be interested to know if those cultures that accept evil existing as a vital force (so to speak) outside of men have within their history greater examples of it. In the Prado once I felt sickened by the endless parade of evil, often evil Jews gloating over the (somewhat insipid, I thought) Christ.
In one of the towers of the cathedral in Cusco St Michael (I think) has his foot on the neck of a red Satan, finally cast down. This in a building built on the foundations of an Inca building, conquered through great bravery and great treachery and guile.
