Thought that is how they look like or represented them as such in art?

My understanding was that most understood them as light sources, very similar to how we do, but rather then cosmic body they saw angels or whatever fits their religious framework.

Its not like people where unaccustomed to the night sky, but maybe deeper psychological interpretation plays a role.
