I would agree with pseudophocles' professors - however, there isn't really any way to get around the great gobs of assumption that go into translating old text. Particularly with regard to "philosophy". And it doesn't even have to be ancient.
Speaking of pseudophocles, take the term "agnostic". Philosophically, it's just skepticism - i.e. a philosopher's absence of certainty - the very fuel of philosophical exploration itself - but the term was wholly "dogmagnosticized" with the profoundly absurd addendum that no one can know. Which is like saying "I don't know, therefore, I know that no one knows.". If that's not the absolute height of hubris, I'm sure I don't know what is.
Then there's "atheist", which, rather than being allowed to die a dignified death in the evolution of man's intellect, is in the process of being changed for the sole purpose of allowing pop-cult, sociopolitically-obsessed people to keep it as a sociopolitical label which is the equivalent of putting lipstick on a pig. And, now, they're even trying to claim agnostics among their members in an effort to add earrings - or some such nonsense.
The term translated to "knowledge" - as in "knowledge of good and evil" - doesn't mean "knowledge". It can - to anyone who believes their opinion counts as "knowledge", but it doesn't. If it did, then there would be no such thing as "opinion", with regard to what's "good" and what's "evil" because all of mankind would know. There would be no argument. The term that was translated to "knowledge" means "the opinion" or "idea" of good and evil. Basically, the birth of the devil - of "evil" - blasphemy. The dividing of God against himself.
A lot of progress has been made in the translation of the Bible but it's still happening. It's an exploration fed by glimpses of ideas, yet, undiscovered.
People often wonder which "one" of the religions is "right". To which I would say, man is still evolving and, in all likelihood, none of them are "right". "Religion" wants everyone on the same page. All believing the same things and acting accordingly. "Religion" is man. In all his discomfort, all his fear, all his anger and all his dissatisfaction with creation and his war against God. One God. The God that all of the puny, bickering, hissy fit-throwing gods are whining about and angry at.
Read any version of the bible from that perspective and you'll easily notice which translations of which terms you want to check. Philosophy hasn't changed its nature. It's advance in exploration, but it's the same as it always was - "not knowing" - the continuation of life. The continuation of exploration.
It's not "the end" of the road - it's a fork. A different relationship with God and creation and an entirely different way of life. A "changing of the mind". A "repenting". Once you let go of "knowledge", you'll wonder why you wasted all the time you spent in pain and suffering.
