Even the idea that Jesus was God's son/God incarnate would've been/was seen as nonsense by the Jews of the time. The idea of a man being the incarnation/aspect of a god was foreign to the Jews, but very much a staple of Roman and Greek mythologies.
That's not to say I think the usual Jesus-Myth hypotheses have much if any merit, since they're generally bad comparisons. But there is some clear cultural cross-pollination of religious ideas.
