A Reminiscence of Classical Myth at II Peter 2.4	1969	10	.pdf	application/pdf	4612	243	74	In light of the concinnity of these contexts, it is evident that the author of II Peter 2.4 framed his description of the fate of the fallen angels under direct influence from the Greek theogonic myths, unmediated either by his Vorlage (Jude), or by I Enoch, with which he shows no familiarity. Whereas the author of Jude derives all of his mythological traditions from Jewish sources-mainly from such apocrypha or pseudepigrapha as I Enoch-the author of II Peter avoids any reference or allusion to these now unacceptable writings.44 Instead, whether consciously or unconsciously and despite the disclaimer in 1.16, he is influenced directly by pagan mythology.45 DUKE UNIVERSITY January, 1969 43	cache/grbs-10631.pdf	txt/grbs-10631.txt
