Yeah, wonder where they got that idea? ;’)

Two examples:

Serpent-god Mesopotamia.

Etruscan Mural. Typhon.

I remember a time when you used to chide me for saying that Allah was an extension of Satan.;-)

Do you remember that?

I still adhere to that idea, BTW!

The mythological scenes depicting the war of the Olympian gods vs the early more beastly Titans to me always represented the Greeks giving up or rejecting the earlier gods who were half human and half monster like found in earlier civilizations in Mesopotamia and Egypt and embracing anthropomorphic gods - gods that looked and acted like men.
