There isn't always such a clear difference between the myth and the historic facts. A real person and real events can take on a mythical status. Che Guevara for example.

It seems to me far more reasonable, on the basis of the evidence, to accept that Jesus existed, and taught, and was crucified, rather than that it was all made up by some imagined fraudster with a golden tongue who managed to convince a load of naive people to throw over eveything and go and get killed for a fiction.

How far the words and the events in the Gospels were historically accurate, and how far they are reconstrunctions for kerigmatic exposition is unknown and unknowable. But it is reasonable to recognise them as having a powerful and continuing mythological force,
whatever we might think about that unknown.
