I am not saying it, the text is saying it. Prince is just a word that identifies a ruler or a king. In this text, both the king of Persia and Michael are fittingly referred to as "Prince." The king of Persia is Prince over the Persian empire. Michael is called the chief Prince over the angels.
We are not told in Genesis that Satan was the serpent in the garden. What we are told is that the serpent was a "beast of the field" not a supernatural being. We also know however that Jesus identified Satan as the force behind the serpent.

We are not told the why, what we are told is that the "prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days." We know that the prince of the kingdom of Persia was Darius not an angelic being.
We are never given this information in scripture but from the way he is described in Job it seem clear that he was some type of sea creature.
Romans 6:16, "Do you not know that to whom you yield yourselves as servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey—whether of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to Righteousness?"

Can an animal be king over humans ?
[h=1]Job 41:34King James Version (KJV)[/h]34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
We do know that historically angels have aided the people of God in conflict with their enemies. God has even at times dispatched armies of angels to stand against the enemies of God' people. For example: Do you remember the story of Elisha and Gechazi?
"Then Elisha prayed and said, “O LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” And the LORD opened the servant’s eyes and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha" 2Kings 6:17. Although Michael is not mentioned here, this is a perfect example of God dispatching his angels to contend with the armies of Samaria.
I think this would be something for another thread. But the short answer is that these symbols are used repeatedly throughout scripture as judgment figures to show that God was about to bring judgment and destruction upon some particular nation. In the case of Matt. 24 that nation was Israel. But that should be for another thread. Let us not hijack this thread to pursue this.

one angel could prevent adam and eve
one angel could kill the samarithan armes
the CHERUBIMS were to protect the tree of life from satan and his angels
the ANGELS were there to battle the unseen evil armies of the devil
What God is saying about leviathan is not that he is a king over people but that his strength is superior to all others. No one has the right to boast before him. Read that entire chapter and notice all the physical characteristics that God assigns to this creature. He even begins by saying in verse one. “Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook? Or press down his tongue with a cord?"
