The texts that tell it
Each text tells it its own way, with its own date. None is merged into another.
What this means
A story is a group of accounts. Each carries its own source, its own cast and its own relationships, and where two disagree both stand. The texts above are works whose records say the story appears in them or is part of them; each date is the text’s own, on the source clock, never the date of the story. Account-level readings — a locator such as “Hesiod, Theogony 886–900”, with that account’s own cast and relationships — are not held yet: 0. The structured data this site imports records stories as subjects and has no equivalent of a narrative account. When accounts are added, reading one will change only the relationships that account asserts. Nothing will be deleted to make them agree.

Connections
How Genesis flood narrative connects
Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.
Affiliation 2
What this means
Association with a tradition or school. Traditions branch, overlap and re-merge; this is not a clean single-origin tree.

Recorded events and days 2
What this means
Events Wikidata records in a subject’s history, and the day a festival is kept. Not a complete history, and the day a festival falls on is not when it began.
