Your idea that Greek myths coming from a later historical period than the Bible isn't really accurate. The Greek myths from the 800s BC are later adaptations of earlier myths from cultures found across the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern world from before 1000 BC. Some of these include Assyria, the Cretan and Mycenaean civilizations in Greece (whose languages still haven't been deciphered), and ancient Hebrews. The Bible is NOT the beginning of history. Check your facts.
We need to remember that Greek and Roman religions influenced Judaism and Christianity. Near Eastern traditions associated snakes with rejuvenation, immortality, and sexuality.Perhaps, parents told their children this story of Adam and Eve to warn them that death surely comes(stoning)(or banishment) when you become like God and procreate without marriage.You are banished from your father's home(the family garden).
Great job Cris! It sure is funny how the atheists always try to say Christianity borrows or imitates the other religions and steals pagan mythology. It is, as you show, the other way around. Thanks and God bless.
[6] The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent,
But the word serpent means snake also. it has two meanings. I believe some of the serpents in the Bible are fyling creatures and others are snakes.
Isa.14
[29] Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent
The sxcriptures use the hebrew equivalent of "serpent" not snake. These serpents also attacked the Hebrews in the dessert during the exodus. Moses eld it up to the sky because the serpents were flying, not crawling on the ctound. The serpents were likely small pterasaurs.. The same creatures attacked people of other cultures, incluiding the Egyptians. They are the origin of the little flying red demons we see in popular culture and computer games.
Yeah, really apt too. Christ defeated Satan on the Cross, Psalm 110 victory, from which our SEPARATE COVENANT of Church, derives: theme of Book of Hebrews. Well done, five stars and fav'd.
There is a good video on YouTube suggesting that tribes around the Tabernacle would laid out in the form of a cross. I'll look for it and send you the link. Jesus Christ was slain from the foundation of the world.
Rev 13:8
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Ancient Chinese and native American legends tell also of these flying serpents attacking villages in numbers.

JOHN 3:14-16
Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. "
