"The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us."

- Ecclesiastes 1:9-10, KJV

God gave Noah the rainbow sign / No more water / the fire next time
He drowned the world once, but did he not instruct His faithful servant how to weather that storm? Did He not guide Noah's hand to build an ark, to gather animals and his family, to ride the waves until the time was ripe to repopulate the Earth with righteousness? Was that all Noah's Godlike doing, or did he benefit from divine assistance?
..God's with depression and an opioid epidemic lol
Classically very Greek in that regard?
No. The Greek Gods were debauches but they didn't cloister themselves in their homes and marinate in their neurosis
Lots of accounts of Hades are exactly that.
Is that a quote?
