I think it goes deeper than that. Read the book "Hero of 1,000 masks", which talks about the universal concept of "The Hero's Quest", and you'll find that these universal themes apply more that what one could find in the bible.
I think allegories can be drawn because people wish them to be there... It's like the same thing that some Christians are trying to place a biblical spin on Harry Potter to make it OK and pious for their kids to read
