Best Answer

temptation or the devil.

Though Tolkien was very religious he left all of our modern concepts of religion out of his books. It wasn't temptation, it was domination. And the devil was not invented until after the time that Tolkien's mythology was in play. He wanted to create a mythology that could be considered the UK's own, minus what France did to it after The Battle of Hastings. So if you consider that Morgoth was the mightiest but was consumed by pride and hate it could be seen as a pre-myth(?) to our modern stories of satan. Just like many other stories have been taken from the past and adapted for another's use.
