Samson was a man of God chosen to fight the Philistines by God , and He got them on a run for it and killed the leaders with him self in the end , ....where Hercules was a Greek myth god and a roman hero god and had nothing to do with the living God .......... The great red dragon is a fallen angel who is alive in the high place realm and will go after people who have a testimony of Jesus Christ and obey Jesus Commandments ..........Then typhon was another Greek myth son of the earth ........... The taking snake is satan and also a fallen angel , and deceptive spirit ...Then naga is a Hindu myth of a negative beast ........saubha is a Hindu myth , and New Jerusalem is an enhanced spirit which is heaven of the living God for the end of time heaven ........ See Jesus is not a Hindu or a Buddhist , or a Greek myth or any other lesser gods , as Jesus said ` No one goes to the living father God but through me ``

I thought it was going to be one of those 70s jokes. You know, like "What's the difference between ignorance and apathy" or "What's the difference between a blonde and an ironing board" or something.

There ya go.





For the record, the old one's better.

Samson is a Hebrew Nazirite who had spiritual power of great strength as a result of keeping his hair long. Heracles was a half-god.

Red dragon was a red dragon. Typhon looks nothing similar, he more often is half-human/half-monster with snake lower body.

Talking snakes are talking snakes. Nagas are half-human, and sometimes guard temples.

New Jerusalem is the city to come for the Jews/Christians. Saubha was a floating city that was overthrown by Krishna.

What you are describing is tropes. Common threads in mythology. But they fit together differently, because they are different things.

I don't know the answer to the OP's question, but it sounds like a kick-donkey video game! Does it include Ahnold Schwarzenegger as a general?
