Good, old post, Robbie. I pretty much agree with your assessment, but
would add that the Hebrew Bible was in western culture prior to the
birth of Christ. The Ptolemies had a translation of the Hebrew Bible
into Greek put into their library in Alexandria some time before
Christ...that would be the minimal start date for the bible in western
lit.

It would also be more accurate to say that the Bible introduced new
questions in addition to the questions Homer started asking already...
