This page should probably just get an image archive. Depictions of Satan with characteristics of a goat (be they hooves, horns, and/or an entire head) are not uncommon, and there's nothing entirely wrong with the current picture.
Just start collecting a bunch of different portrayals and stick 'em in an archive.

I tend to lean toward that idea, but IMO if the page must have a pic, then a good one would be one of Dore's woodcuts of Paradise Lost.
Here's some examples:
Being cast out

Rock climb

Looking angsty

I'd stick with the third.
Though personally, I'd like the more "demony" Satan.

^If anyone is curious, I'm pretty sure that's from some kind of illustrated depiction of Dante's Inferno.
I'm a fan of that one.
I like that one from Dante's Inferno. My only fear is that the woodblock style won't shrink well.

Darkness is The Power of LifeWell, whatever we choose, make sure we move all the other examples onto an Image Links page. Except maybe the one with tits.
I'd be fine with the Dante's Inferno version, the Paradise Lost version, or the corny red suit with horns version with a caption saying "Okay, maybe he's not always this goofy..."

Here are some good ones from Devil Man
Darkness is The Power of LifeCan we just stick with the Dante's Inferno Satan? I'd say that one's the most easily recognizable. Unless we're going for humor, then go with the guy in the red suit. Manga Bishonen Satan and Pokemon with 4 pairs of tits are even less recognizable than goat Satan.

Darkness is The Power of Life
Crown Description:
Satan Needs a good image.

There's gotta be a better picture than this; the general lore of Satan is not centered around goats.
