Reaching back a looooong way and making a guess, 'say goodbye to the ancient Greeks' or 'tell the ancient Greeks goodbye' might be a translation. And that's a definite maybe.
Let's say I buy a fancy sword. It is brand new. Experts can tell it is a recent version, and was manufactured. Let's say you found a sword. You can tell it is old. Experts say it "dates back to the past" based on the metals used and it was flattened by a blacksmith. But they can't give an exact time "in the past". But they know the object dates back to the past.
They used myths from Zeus simply because they thought that the world was flat from the many pictures and murals made by the artists long ago.
Personally, I can tell the stories for both, but the Greeks came first, but then Rome conquered them, and basically copied them,
