Enoch, Metatron, and Yima?

ARCHANGEL METATRON WATCH: Enoch’s Walk with God Ends Badly in Babylonia (Yishai Kiel,TheGemara.com).
Echoing the Iranian story of Yima, the biblical Enoch morphed into the theologically problematic angel Metatron, and ends up being flogged.
Interesting proposal about a possible Zoroastrian connection with the rise of the Metatron traditions.
