  Um, Tibor,
  Doesn't ancient Israel predate Greek mythology?  

Kendrick, to my mind, while ancient Palestine does predate Greek Mythology,

various translations I have read do not make him sound like a giant, but
rather like Andre the Giant.

[1] Kee Tov, is the transliteration from Genesis, when God saw that it was
