Book of Job 8-15 - Who thought that his life was a snooze

Job 8-15

More ruminations on life, the world and everything from Job and his drinking buddies.

These conversations reminds me of the Socratic Dialogues from Plato.

Do you think the writing style could have been influenced by the Greeks?  Plato lived around 450 bce, so his influence may have been possible.  What is the origin of this original book?  Could it have been Greek?

Which brings up another question.  If this is a true event, (for those that believe the Bible is 100% real), who  had access to the interactions between God and Satan?  Did God relay this information to the author?  Wouldn't the author have mentioned that he spoke to God?!?!

Awesome line of the day:
13:28 And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.
