    The biggest difference is the presence and role of The Watchers. In the actual Bible, they are not mentioned until later on. However, in the Book of Enoch, it is explained that at first these fallen angels were entranced by the daughters of men, and so they had sex with the mortal women and gave way for the birth of the Nephilim. The Nephilim were giants that roamed the earth, savage creatures who wrecked the land and brought harm to people. The Nephilites are mentioned offhand in the Genesis – although described in the Book of Enoch as fearsome creatures, in Genesis are explained to be “the heroes and famous warriors of ancient times” (Genesis 6:4). This makes the addition of the Grigori in Aronofsky’s film a bit more sensible – toward the end of the film, the Grigori protect Noah and the ark by fighting back against the onslaught of Cain’s treacherous relatives, who are led by Tubal-cain.

The main question that is asked refers to the number of mythologies that she uses without the readers realizing it until her books are re-read or researched further. Before things get too out of hand, I believe that we should go into the history of the Nephilim and their relatable mythology with other cultures. One of the most common angels mentioned in Clare’s novels in Nephilim’s history and mythology is one of the angels, Raziel. The angel Raziel is…
