Yeah, I’ve said for a long time that lots of modern Christianity is just retellings of older mythology. For example, the story of Lucifer is the story of Prometheus told through an Abrahamic lens. When Christianity was trying to get off the ground, the Christians needed ways to relate to modern audiences. And modern audiences at the time were largely comprised of Greco-Roman working class, who were already intimately familiar with that existing mythology.
