While examining this brief tale we trace its origins back thousands of years to characters like Adapa, Erra, Ziusudra, Nimrod, and a giant who was the ancestor of Abraham.

He sleeps with his sister, rapes slaves, hears voices, tries to murder children, and has lunch with deities. He's not some cliche villain, but the founder of Judaism.
Oh, and his story is a complete fabrication.
