Until Islam showed up the middle east looked to the Mediterranean for culture.
The Jews believed the Philistines (Gaza) were refugees from Crete so it would make sense for them to be knowledgeable about Greek mythology.
But frankly it goes both ways. There are middle eastern and Egyptian elements in Greek mythology. The myth of the golden and sliver ages clearly reflect the geographical changes in the fertile crescent which lead to wheat being domesticated. The idea of Zeus as a smiting god rather than a fertility god likely came from the middle east as well.

Question: where do you get your information from? You seem to be knowledgeable about a wide variety of subjects and you always purport things that I never read anywhere else.

Just reading and listening to podcasts.
I got a bit obsessed about the trojan war a couple of years ago.
I also studied archaeology when I was younger.

But what kind of books do you read? You mentioned a feminist book you were reading once and it was something I'd never heard about. Well, perhaps because of the subject matter. But I'm wondering how you draw all these unique conclusions.
