The gospels do not have any of the hallmarks of myths. They are eyewitness accounts from real people detailing events in a rather matter of fact sort of way. They instead show all the hallmarks of good historical writing.
None of the supposed myths that resemble the Jesus story come from before Jesus's time. It is reasonable to conclude that they are all in fact derived from the story of Jesus, not the other way around.
