Only that many of their myths had been incorporated into the Jewish holy books in about 600 BC (the flood, Noah, the forbidden fruit, etc).

He is the god of wine and celebrations. He MIGHT be important because let's say the Olympians win in a battle, they can celebrate!
Was Poseidon older than Zeus and Hades?
We don't know the exact chronological order of the god's birth. We just know that Zeus is the youngest. He might be the oldest if you look at who got eaten by Kronus. It's very confusing.

because cronus killed his father to become ruler. He was afraid one of his kids might do the same and try to kill him, which was the case. Zeus later killed Cronus and became ruler of mount olympus.
Why did Roman officials and many Jewish leaders regard Jesus as a troublemaker?
The only Roman official with whom Jesus ever interacted was Pontius Pilate. All the other Romans with whom He interacted were soldiers and functionaries [tax collectors]. None of the soldiers who interacted with Him ever displayed any fear of Jesus. Many believed in Him, trusted Him, and asked Him to intervene for them. That leaves Pilate. Pilate wasn't afraid of Jesus either. If he had been, he wouldn't have sentenced Him to death. No, the people whom Pilate feared were the people in the crowd in the judgment court where Jesus was tried. It was their threat to begin an insurrection that he feared. That's why he caved in to their pressure. So - Who's next on the officials list?
Who did Artemis turn into a bear when she discovered she was pregnant?
I have never heard of a Greek myth that retells such a happening; Artemis was associated with bears and the birth of a child/young animal. This might be a confusion over the raising of Atalanta who was suckled by a bear and was the favorite of Artemis.

Why was Jesus unique right from birth?
Matthew's Gospel and Luke's Gospel, although they differ on some key points, both say that Jesus was born of a virgin, thus making him unique in human history. However, some liberal theologians acknowledge that the story of the virgin birth might have been no more than Christian midrash.
Who was the King at Jesus birth?
The answer is King Herod There was no longer a kingdom of Israel at the time attributed to the birth of Jesus. The southern state of Judah, known to the Romans as Judea, was the homeland of the Jews and had gradually expanded since the time of the Maccabeans to include the former territory of Israel. Both Matthew's Gospel and Luke's Gospel say that Jesus was born during the reign of King Herod the Great. Herod was an Idumean and was imposed on Judea by Roman military might, one reason that he was very unpopular among the Jews.
What evidence does John's Gospel give which helps substantiate the Virgin birth?
Both Matthew and Luke place the virgin birth in Bethlehem. There is a suggestion in John's Gospel that the author did not really believe that Jesus was born in Bethlehem (John 7:41-2, 52), which militates against belief in the virgin birth, as described in the two earlier gospels.Unlike the synoptic gospels, John portrays Jesus as pre-existing and the author might have felt that an infancy narrative was inappropriate. John's notion of Jesus as pre-existing could suggest that he might have come into the world fully formed, not as a baby. We do not know the mind of the author, but there is nothing that definitely supports or substantiates the virgin birth.

What is a city in Judea?
Bethany which is a village "about two miles" away from Jerusalem. Just as Capernaum was Jesus' home in Galilee (Mark 2:1), Bethany might be called his home in Judea. It was the "certain village" that Jesus visited during his later Judean ministry (approximately October to December, 32 C.E.), the location of the home of Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, who became beloved friends of Jesus. (Luke 10:38) Here Jesus later performed the miracle of Lazarus' resurrection. (John 11:1, 38-44)
