I've been watching a YouTube series about various ancient myths, and most of them have lived up to that name:

* Simple fable-like storytelling
* Bizarre characters and plots
* Blood, gore and violence
* Minimal dialogue

Then came a video on biblical myth, and the contrast became apparent. Real humans, real dilemmas, plenty of dialogue and more layers of storytelling.

The O.T. leans more toward myth than the N.T., but even the O.T. looks sophisticated next to a typical myth.
