Pythagorus is the only other one to my knowledge.
Fun fact:
Pythagorus had a small, but fairly influential cult devoted to him. His disciples were among the intellectual elite, so they gained quite a bit of power. Much of what is attributed to him was actually written by his disciples, who wrote it in his name claiming he insipred it and it would be wrong to use their own names. That's right, so devoted were his followers that they claimed it would be plagarism to use their own names.

Yes. "Christ" is simply a translation of the Hebrew word "Mechiach," meaning "the anointed One." The Scriptures explain that ALL Kings of Israel who were specifically chosen by God were anointed "mechiach." The descendents of Moses' brother, Aaron, who served as priests in the Temple were also anointed.
Examples include 1 Samuel 9:16 (Saul) and 1 Samuel 16:12 (David). As far as I am aware, only one Gentile was anointed: Cyrus of Persia (see Isaiah 45:1), who permitted the Jews to leave the Babylonian captivity and return to Israel and rebuild the Temple.
It is important to understand that each of these anointed ones, who were either kings or priests, were foreshadows of the Messiah to come who is BOTH a King and a Priest.

The true "Christ" is the moon but few have figured that out yet.
