I prefer this list. The Greeks doesn’t go far enough back.

This. Reading the bible without having a solid foundation in Mesopotamian and Canaanite mythology, and a history of the ancient near east will not be nearly as interesting.

Just to add a little bit extra to my post above, you should keep in mind that the literature flowing around the rest Fertile Crescent and archaic Greece in the middle and late Bronze Age was a strong influence on the OT. You should also look into early Sumerian literature for parallels with the flood stories, and Hesiod’s works and days for parallels with the biblical ages of man.

Pic related is my reading list.
