Very interesting. Myths are quite fascinating and well worth our study. I think you have done a service by connecting the myth to a scriptural base. It a time of limited literacy, these stories, like the zodiac, were used as memory aides for important truths.
By a bit of subtraction, we find that Adam died when Enoch (who walked with God) was 308, out of his total of 365 years. (Noah himself, of the antediluvian patriarchs, was the only one whom we know *didn't* meet Adam.) Might Enoch be more plausible in the role of Seth here?
