I don't think anyone doubts that Jesus was a historical figure?

Virtually all scholars of antiquity accept that Jesus was a historical figure, and the idea that Jesus was a mythical figure has been consistently rejected by the scholarly consensus as a fringe theory.

-source: Wikipedia Historical Jesus

But anyway I mostly agree with you. "Heroes" are something that cultures invent to lift up whatever it is that in that moment they want to espouse as being good. I wanted to make a point referencing the enormous differences in which people or quotes get mentioned & encouraged now vs. a year ago by political leaders in the USA, but that would run afoul of Rule 8 in this community so we'll have to keep it superficial: what gets remembered over time is what is beneficial to cultures to want to remember.

Which makes Jesus an extremely pivotal point in history, e.g. overturning millennia of oppression of women ("husbands, submit yourselves to your wives..." - and vice versa too, so a more equal partnership even among differing roles like care-giver and bread-winner), which of course was spread along with Rome as its technology (e.g. roads & waterworks) also spread.
