A:

Dennis R. MacDonald (The Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark) has pointed out many parallels between passages in Mark's Gospel, the first New Testament Gospel to be written, and the epics of Homer, none more so than between the feast given by Telemachus and Jesus feeding the five thousand. There is no rational reason for Jesus to instruct the people to be seated in such orderly groups, until we see that this closely parallels the seating arrangement set down by Telemachus in the Odyssey.
