The Trinity Doctrine: Help me out, Christians

I'm curious about something. How does the Septuagint render the word for the snake/serpent/whatever in Genesis and how does that compare with the Greek in Rev. 20:2? Is it the same word or not?
Like I said I'm posting from my phone so I'm not able to post up quotes like I want.

But simply put, the word for serpent in Hebrew is Nachash which means "shining one"

The Greek word is ophin which means "snake", however the origin of the word is Ophion, from Greek mythology.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophion
Quote:Robert Graves in his book The Greek Myths imaginatively reconstructs a Pelasgian creation myth involving Ophion as a serpent created by a supreme goddess called Eurynome dancing on the waves. She is fertilized by the serpent and in the form of a dove lays an egg on the waters about which Ophion entwines until it hatches and the world issues forth. Then Ophion and Eurynome dwell on Mt. Olympus until Ophion boasts that he made the world alone. Eurynome, as punishment, kicked out his teeth and banished him to the underworld. From Ophion's teeth sprang Pelasgus who taught man all the arts and crafts.

Interesting Thinking
