Can you draw parallels between biblical parables and greek myths?
Yes, without a doubt. For example the early Ancient Greek Gods, or Titans, are referred to as ‘giants’ in many retellings. Giants are also mentioned in Genesis chapter 6 verse 4. Pandora, first human woman in the Greek myths, releases the evils into the world by opening a forbidden jar. Eve, first woman in the Bible, committed the original sin by eating a forbidden fruit. Also in Genesis, Noah escaped the flood sent by God by building an arc. In the Greek myths, Deucalion escapes a flood sent by Zeus by building an arc. In fact many of the Greek myths can be parralleled with Biblical parables although the Ancient Greek idea of many Gods representing different aspects of life is very different to Biblical teachings of one divine God.
