I don't know if anyone has mentioned this or not but the Bible and Christianity have actually borrowed a lot of stuff from pagan myth.
There are a couple traditions that are part of our Jewish holidays that I've heard unofficial speculation regarding possible pagan inspiration for those traditions (like the waving of the lulav and etrog on Sukkot). I don't know if it's true, but it's not impossible. After all, Sukkot is mentioned in the Torah, but the rules for what to do during the holiday are not. That all comes from oral and rabbinic law.
