Jesus in comparative mythology

Jesus in comparative mythology is the way that Jesus is talked about and compared to similar figures in other mythologies or religions. It looks at the similarities between stories and beliefs in different religions or cultures to see how Jesus and other figures are the same or different. For example, some people believe that Jesus is similar to certain figures in ancient Greek mythology, such as Prometheus or Dionysus. The idea is that Jesus and these figures share a lot of traits in common, like sacrificing themselves for humanity and teaching us important lessons. Comparative mythology is a way to explore these similarities and better understand different religions and stories.
