Not exactly. Saying you will give someone the benefit of the doubt means that you have reason not to believe them but not so much reason as to call them a liar so you're letting them know that you hope that they are telling the truth.
Saying you will take it for granted means that you think there is a high probability that the person is being truthful about the subject under discussion.

No one means.... you will trust or believe someone even though you have doubts, those doubts you can't support with truth or facts so you give them the benefit of the doubt
taking something for granted is simply not appreciating whatever IT is

No.
Benefit of Doubt = you give a person a chance and let something go
Take it for Granted = assumption

No, the phrase doesn't mean that the Odyssey is historical evidence of Zeus. But the logic behind the phrase is the same kind of logic someone would use when claiming that the Odyssey is historical evidence of Zeus.

"Benefit of the doubt" usually means there is doubt and lets hope it is OK by going ahead anyways. "I wlll take it for granted" is an assumption that topic is a fact.

Absolutely not.
It's a gentler way of saying,"I trust you but I'm not going to make sudden judgments either."
Similar to the eternal rule of Law which is, "Innocent until proven guilty."

NO. One means that I'm going to sort of believe you when you tell me something and the other is I'm going to believe.
