The Epic Tale Of Jason And The Argonauts By Socrates Draws A Striking Similarity between Phrixus and Isaac The Son Of Abraham.
we explore a thought-provoking theory: is it possible that Abraham, the patriarch of the Jewish tradition, shares connections with characters from Greek mythology? More specifically, we examine the striking parallels between the story of his son Isaac and the mythological figure Phrixus.
The sacrificial ram: coincidence or shared heritage?
Both young men are nearly sacrificed by their own fathers, but are saved at the last moment by a ram sent by higher powers. These shared elements, found in both biblical and Greek mythological narratives, raise important questions: could these stories be echoes of an older tradition, shared across cultures?
What do scholars say?
We present the work of researchers who have dedicated themselves to studying possible connections between these traditions. Their analyses uncover clues that suggest cross-cultural influences between Greek myths and biblical texts — a bold perspective that may radically shift how we interpret these ancient stories.
A new reading of the Bible
This video goes beyond the surface. We dive into the historical, cultural, and linguistic layers that shaped the sacred texts and question to what extent the Bible may have been influenced by narratives circulating in other parts of the ancient world. The result is a new way of seeing the role of Abraham and Isaac within a much broader and interconnected context.
