CriticalBible2.0......The Hellenization of the ancient world was met by groups of worshippers of YHWH in very different ways. When Alexander allowed YHWH worshipers in the north (Samaria) to build a temple for themselves on mt. Gerizim, it cemented a division that lasted centuries. Likewise the millions of Jews living in Egypt under the Ptolemies developed a rich Hellenized form of Judaism, with deep respect for the traditions of Egypt, Greece and Palestine. Many understood the "True" God was in fact known through these other traditions as well. Equating Zeus or Jupiter with Yahweh was a natural process of syncretism. This wasn't the origin of the name YHWH which is much more ancient and likely from a deity in the south of Palestine.
