Long ago I took an English class where one section of it was "The Bible as Literature". The instructor prefaced it with the observation that at the time the chapters of the bible were being formed, authors were not versed in saying things literally. Their vocabulary was much more limited than today, and allegories were a common method of recording ones thoughts and even historical events.At around the same time Greek mythology was also thriving. Ancient Greek events were also often related in terms of allegories with great poetic license. That seems to be a common trait of early narratives.
