Ancient stories from different lands are connected in amazing ways. Patriarchs and Heroes: Two Worlds Collide describes four pairs of the greatest stories ever told from the Israelite and Greek traditions. The connections will astound and delight as they make the case that the Greek story in each pair was adapted from its Israelite counterpart. The details they share help us understand why these stories still sing to us so sweetly today. You only need to bring your desire to delve deeply into the wonders of ancient storytelling and to search for links buried in the stories. Each story pair will be presented in detail before the analysis so you can learn or re-learn these famous sagas and myths as we go along. The stories in Patriarchs and Heroes: Two Worlds Collide beg us to look at these connections more closely.

Can we ignore finding a man named Phineas in an Israelite saga and a man named Phineas in a Greek myth performing almost identical actions at nearby locations? Read on, and you will agree- these Biblical patriarchs were transformed into Greek heroes!
