Aren’t there some striking parallels between the Jesus and Apollo stories?
Like what?  Apollo was a Greek god who was the son of Zeus and Lito and the twin brother of Artemis.  He was the god of music and an archer.  He was associated with the swan, wolf, and dolphin.  He had many romantic relationships with goddesses as well as mortal women (and even a prince named Hyacinthus!).  There was no virgin birth or resurrection, or anything which strongly parallels to Jesus.
