The obvious answer here is 'Greek Myths'. This of course is under the assumption that you are talking about famous Greek Mythology such as Titans and Gods and Goddesses- Hercules and the like. The Greeks that created these myths lived long, long before 'Jesus', and the several of the writings about Greek Mythology happened around 500 B.C., While it appears the first draft of the standard Christian Holy Bible was not created until circa 261 A.D, which is more than 750 years AFTER most of the Greek Myths were penned.
Of course the Greek Mythos began it's creation as early as the 8th and 6th century BC, while, according to Christian faith the New Testament of The Bible could not have been created before 0 A.D, even verbally the stories didn't exist yet.

Essentially, beliefs come before the books are written. Whether or not the bible was written before a literary record of Norse myth does not matter.
