Genesis 1–11 and the Greek historiographers Hecataeus of Miletus and Herodotus of Halicarnassus 1

Consideration of the writings of the Greek Historians, Hecataeus of Miletus and Herodotus of Halicarnassus, in comparison with the Primeval History in Genesis 1–11, indicates that the Greek and the biblical authors shared a number of historiographical concerns, including a discussion of human accomplishments, the memory of the creation of a post-flood vineyard, three sons of the flood hero and their descendants, segmented genealogies, ethnographic concerns, the beginning of languages, and the transition to more recent history from a primordial age.
