I can add little to your thesis (since I don't study this stuff) except to say that I've read other explorations of how our words no longer mean what they used to and that modern translations from ancient languages, typically Greek and Latin but no doubt Hebrew as well, fail to capture the sense or spirit behind the original concepts. Homeric epics considered in such a light have a very different character than the adventurer/superhero treatments we see these days.
