Mythicists must composite multiple figures (Dionysus, Horus, Asclepius, Apollonius, Hercules) to approximate Jesus — historians reject this method

To create a pagan parallel to Jesus, mythicists must combine: Dionysus (divine paternity, made wine), Horus/Thor (life threatened at birth), Asclepius (healing, occasional raising of dead), Apollonius of Tyana (post-death appearance), and Hercules (ascension to heaven after self-immolation, seen ascending on Pegasus). Historians are not impressed because this compositing methodology is invalid: you are cherry-picking elements from multiple unconnected figures spanning over a thousand years.
