Not to mention the bible borrowed this tale from the Babylonians, too.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/ane/caog/caog06.htm

Quote:The Sibyl says: That when all men formerly spoke the same language some among them undertook to erect a large and lofty tower, that they might climb up into heaven. But God sending forth a whirlwind confounded their design, and gave to each tribe a particular language of its own, which is the reason that the name of that city is Babylon. After the deluge lived Titan and Prometheus, when Titan undertook a war against Cronus.
