Must be the sort of fact that you establish by repetition rather than demonstration, eh? It is an extraordinary leap of faith to say that there was not a certain personage, a murderous strongman with delusions of granduer, Hercules.
Tell me how this is more than modern day euhemerism? What we have in those sources is a history of a people who believe, and what they believe..... not a history of jesus, or any "certain personage".
