That trope derives from a reading of Genesis 49:4, ""wanton as water"", as ""wanton ""in"" water"", taken from the Book of Jubilees. This theme is also in 2 Samuel 11:2's account of David and Bathsheba.

"Athenion (general) Athenion was in the late 30s BC a military commander of the Egyptian queen Cleopatra in Coele-Syria. Athenion is only known through the report given by the Jewish historian Josephus on Herod the Great. But the account of Josephus is very hostile to Cleopatra and reflects in this connection the negative reporting of the memoirs of the Jewish king on the Ptolemaic queen, which found their way via Nicolaus of Damascus into the historic works of Josephus. Therefore Josephus’ unreliable reporting on Cleopatra has to be evaluated carefully. When in 32 BC the preparations for the final war"

In Elephantine (modern Aswan) in Egypt, the 5th century BCE Elephantine papyri make mention of a goddess called Anat-Yahu (Anat-Yahweh) worshiped in the temple to Yahweh originally built by Jewish refugees from the Babylonian conquest of Judah.

The skillfully executed musculature in combination with classical dress reveal de Rossi's knowledge of antiquity. Additionally, the subject matter of Joseph fleeing from his temptress was a prominent subject matter in the early days of the Counter-Reformation, conveying the dangers of immorality associated with female nature.
