It uses the same devices, borrows the same language, features mythological creatures such as sea dragons, gods who talk to people and intervene in warfare and daily life, and have children, I mean the list could go on. There's no difference between the Bible and other myths except that you're familiar with it and haven't looked at it with the same objective, critical eye you (hopefully) would when reading Homer, or Egyptian poetry, or Akkadian epics, etc... at least that wouldn't appear to be the case.
