The first verse of Homer's Iliad reads "Sing, O Goddess" (μηνιν αειδε θεα) and similar to Genesis 1:1 "the God created" (אלהים ברא).
Thus one could say, "Who is Theos in the Greek Pantheon" because El and Theos are interchangeable..

Book of Jude should be called Book of Judas. Jude and Judas are both Ἰούδας. In fact in the Vulgate he is called Iudas and Yehudah in HNV.

Jacob not James
One thing that bothers me about New translations of New Testament, they don't restore the names, for example Jacob (Ιάκωβος) in Mark 1:19 is called James in the KJV, NKJV, NLT, ASV, DBY, HNV, RSV, WEB, YLT, NIV, ESV, CSB, NET, BBE, NASB20, NASB95.
What is the reason behind this?
