I gotta tell you, though, when I read that bit from the Bible Hercules immediately springs to mind. Think of the story. Zeus, a god, is attracted to mortal women and has children with them, all of whom are imbued with godly qualities. The description "Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown." certainly does apply to the mythological Greek heroes. Maybe Zeus is one of the Sons of God? Again, I point to Greek mythology, in which it's said that Zeus came from an older, much more powerful god. (Though that god was described as evil) Now, if the theory of the Sons of God being the Fallen Angels is true, then Zeus certainly qualifies. A Fallen Angel would certainly seem like a god to mortal man. And said Fallen Angel, when discussing his creation, would undoubtedly try to cast his creator in the worst possible light. Hence "Cronus" being evil, and the story about defeating the "Titans". (I.E. The angels who stayed loyal to God), when in fact they lost. If you were on a losing side of a war and the other guy wasn't there to tell his side of the story, wouldn't you say you won? That is, if you were as duplicitous as a fallen angel. :P

Then there's Hades. There is no Heaven in Greek mythology for the dead. No paradise. All the dead go to Hades, or Hell. Naturally, as it's Hell where the fallen angels are. Not heaven, so that's where all their worshippers go.

Hmm. You know, someone much smarter and learned than I could probably do a good job of tying Greek mythology into Christianity. The Greek gods being, in fact, fallen angels. And the ancient greek heroes being Nephilim. Eh, I doubt it's the case at all. But if someone felt inclined to write a fictional story or book on that foundation it would probably make at the very least interesting reading.
