I found this comparison to be very intriguing. I always wonder how old a motif is, and this one may be very old indeed. I am quite curious about what myths people took with them as they fanned out around the globe, including and especially into the Americas.

Chrestes as Oracle

Chrestes as Oracle

Here's an analysis of one of the more esoteric aspects of the mythicist position. While the discussion of "Chrestos" and "Chrestes," etc., represents a more scholarly element, it is an important one. If we understand that before there was a "Christ" there were many Chrests, including as priests and oracles engaged in religion - and by which title Jesus too was called - we have a clearer picture of the atmosphere in which Christianity was founded.

I have taken a lengthy article and broken it down into different essays, with numerous links both to these other articles and to references, citations and annotated footnotes. You will see the other new articles in this "Chrestos" series in the "Related articles" and "Further Reading" sections. This "Chrestos" research ties together many loose ends in study of Christian origins. Enjoy!
