I’ll save you the pain of reading this article and spoil it all for you.

Article: “the Greeks copied heavily from biblical lore and definitely not vice verse, ps we totally aren’t biased or using motivated reasoning!!!!!”

Right.

Of course everybody cribbed from everybody else. You can't draw any meaningful conclusions from stuff like this.

Citing Irish tales from 2200+ years after the supposed event do not help credibility.

I expect the Next article on that website to be: “why the epic of Gilgamesh was actually based on the Old Testament despite the Old Testament being much newer”
