This relatively obscure custom of placing mythology in the context of the fantasy genre is especially useful to those that scrutinize the fantasy genre as others would mainstream fiction.
Classical mythology is replete with fantastical stories and characters, the best known (and perhaps the most relevant to modern fantasy) being the works of Homer.
Although fantastic lands, time periods, and realms all have their counterparts in mythology and folklore, such as Jotunheim, the "Worlds" of Mesoamerican mythology, and the fairy realm of English folklore, respectively, these similarities are often regarded as largely coincidental in the case of early modern fantasy.

The Chaldeans' mystical religion considered Noah, who was saved from the flood by the ark, as Defiuis (twice born).
In the Chaldean mythology, Noah was considered as the father of all mankind.
The story was that Noah was dead in the ark and came out of it as a new man. The Babylonians, who established the practice and doctrine of regeneration through water, connected this incident to that of their founder, Orisis (Nimrod) who, they believed, was regenerated through water after his death.
