Nope, not Jesus.
It's Heracles!!! His stories have been around since over 1,200 years prior to the tales of Jesus.

Why is there so much talk of Jesus is here? The guy talking about Heracles, not Jesus so why are you getting upset?
He's just trying to show how much they have in comman and how weird it is.
Sheesh

I don't know the story, so forgive the ignorance -
did he allow this to happen, or was it forced upon him?
did he know it would happen?
was it prophesied about, multiple times, by different prophets in different times?
did he raise himself from the dead, as he said that he would, and as was prophesied about?
The prophets told their prophesies before Heracles, if your time frame is correct.

For one thing...heracles' tale wasn't recorded by eye witnesses, and second of all...Jesus isn't half God, half human, he is 100% both...

I love the Disney movie about him. In fact, I enjoy Greek mythology very much.
