That's like saying the difference between WWI and WWII was the absence of mustard gas because my loving mother had been born in the interim.
The coincidence is that before Plato one does not find a god who is all good anywhere in the world. After Plato you find many in the Alexandrian and then the Roman empires including Philo among the Jews. Why would you choose to ignore the correlation?
