Valid points, and I agree that the “packaging” of vices into this format of “7 deadly sins” is traceable to early Christian origins.

You’ve also conceded that this format is clearly rooted on the earlier Hellenistic vice/virtue framework, so I’ll call the 7 deadly sins a “dark age one pager”, meant for monks and other people of simpler minds.
