"Revelation and Daniel Beast Questions"


I was reading Revelation 12 , 13 and 17 last night and comparing it with
Daniel 7.

Rev 12: The devil has 7 heads 10 horns and 7 crowns
Rev 13: The beast has 7 heads 10 horns and 10 crowns - resembled
leopard, feet like bear, mouth like lion.
Rev 17: 3 The beast the Prostitute rides on has 7 heads and 10 horns and
no crowns are mentioned.
Rev 17:9-14 Heads = kings, hills; horns = kings

Dan 7:  Does leopard = Greece, Bear = Persia (Iran) and Lion = Babylon
(Iraq)
Beast has 10 horns - no mention of heads or crowns, but it comes up as
an uncounted horn and uproots three horns (10+1-3=8)
The 8th horn has eyes like man and a mouth that spoke boastfully, is
slain and thrown into blazing fire.

The horns and heads are explained, but what do the crowns represent?
Why does the devil have 7 crowns and the beast have 10?  Does that
represent the three kings that were overthrown?  Or are we talking about
the 7 kingdoms from the number of heads and 10 kingdoms from the number
of horns?  But again -what can the crowns represent?  Victory - what are
the crowns in Greek are they diadem or the crowns of an olive wreath for
a victor?

Any one have any insight?  Thanks
