I always find how authors add paganism into their writings about heaven and religious beliefs. Ideals like an eagle being a main overseer, almost like cherubim. Especially when the Eagle was highly regarded in the Roman polytheistic community. I also understand that the Eagle would have been regarded as highly, if not higher than God in the established scientific community, due to the eagle representing the Roman empire, and many of the Roman gods. I just find it interesting that ideals that include pagan beliefs would be apart of theological materials, such as Dante's works.
