You do quick research. The influence of classical Greek thought on the Trinity is beyond dispute. Even more fascinating is how many modern and post modern philosophers end up in the structure all the while denying Christianity - Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger and even the most extreme of the contemporary era. They are always trying to escape space and time, but feel bound by the prior philosopher’s mythos masquerading as logos. Becoming versus Being. A hopeless cycle of a dog chasing its tail.

When one puts the endless game to bed, only does the One, the Father, truly become clear and in terms that defy words (see the end of Dante’s Paradisio) At least in my spiritual journey. The notion of reconciling the two (time/space and eternity) is a false dichotomy set down by Parmenides 2600 years ago.

Depends on the level of influence that one infers

There was some influence, but the level and depth is in dispute.

Paradisio like the rest of the Divine Comedy to me is seeped in the belief of the Trinity: the verses, etc
