To any editors interested in this subject: You must provide appropriate sources for any claim connecting Ladon to the Judeo-Christian serpent in the Garden of Eden, or connecting anything about Greek mythology to anything about Judeo-Christian mythology. Yes, there are similar details. But we find convergent elements in mythologies
all around the world, even those that had zero contact with each other. There certainly was cultural interchange between Greece and other nearby ancient civilizations but that doesn't validate any particular claim of shared origin for an image or story. There is a whole field of academia dedicated to analysing the cultural and artistic flow of ideas between the Ancient Greeks and their neighbors. If you want to explore the possibility of a real connection, you will have to delve into that body of research and analysis and let us know what you find, instead of making an unsourced claim.
