Greek Mythology and Religion

Greek mythology was an amalgamation of all sorts of beliefs, and was a constantly changing system, perpetually adding and subtracting stories to it's claims. Hellenism is notorious for incorporating whatever beliefs they want into their religion, just like wiccans today.
To suggest that it "existed" before the Bible is a crock of shit.

Nor could one say that the "prince" was born of a virgin, because according to ALL stories in greek mythology, a god comes down in human form and fucks a woman because he finds her desirable. Thus, she is no longer a virgin.
Finally, that movie is a TERRIBLE, I repeat TERRIBLE, retelling of the Perseus story. They mix all sorts of different, unrelated myths, into one. I would not be surprised if they felt like they should invent that "Perseus was born of a virgin" and such BS because they want people to think that somehow Christian beliefs were stolen from hellenistic myths.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Do you even know how the Bible was written?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Here is some info on mithraism.
I have found Newadvent.org to be a remarkably reliable source of factual information in regards to anything, especially history.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
