@Time. And hence why the Septuagint was/is considered apocryphal (as is any text or record that doesn't go with accepted practices.) And then there was the issue of measuring the old vs. new testament against themselves, which is why the Orthodox tend to remain philosophical about it. Heaven and hell aren't front and center in the OT because it was considered tertiary to the worship of God.

Then again most of that tradition comes from the fact that so many post-Hellenistic Greeks weren't actually Greek at all, but of Turkish origin, and that's easy to see when you get into Orthodox philosophy and its almost Kabbalistic introspection.
