The claim I found tonight about the word Jesus meaning "Hail Zeus" was interesting... but I'm not ready to jump to that conclusion. Here is the argument:
There was no "J" in the English language until about 400 years ago. That fact checks out. "The first English-language book to make a clear distinction between "i" and "j" was published in 1634." - wiki.
The Original 1611 King James Bible had the name Iesus throughout. Check again. Many sources agree.
Now what about this claim? IESOUS means "Hail Zeus". According to one site, the Hebrew name Jahshuwah (Jehoshua) was objectionable to the Greeks and Romans who replaced it with Ie-Sous. 'Jesus' is supposedly a transliteration of a Latin name "Ioesus", pronounced heysus. The claim is that this means nothing in Hebrew, but in Latin means 'Hail Zeus'. They do look somewhat alike, don't they?
ZEUS
JESUS
Zeus was Jove in Latin. Hail is "Ave" in Latin, not "Ie". I checked out an alternate spelling. The word "suos" in Latin is the accusative plural of a pronoun that can take on different genders. No evidence supports the claim that "iesous" means "Hail Zeus".
There is another more factual claim that says the word Je-sus is Latin for Earth Pig. SUS is indeed Latin for pig and it is interesting that "Je" is a Greek earth goddess.
GE (je,ge) GAEA;GAIA GAEA (Jee),Noun. [Gr.Gaia derived from "Ge", earth] in Greek mythology the earth personified as a goddess,mother of Uranus the Titans,etcMOTHER EARTH: identified by the Romans with Tellus.
The Romans and Greeks did hate the Jews. They were at war and the accounts we have now are the result of the writings of the historian Josephus, a former Jewish commander from Galilee, who after he was captured by the Romans, attempted to end the rebellion, negotiating with the Judeans on behalf of Roman Emperor Titus Flavius' behalf. It is a mater of record that Josephus and Titus became quite close friends and that later Josephus was granted Roman citizenship and a pension. In fact, Josephus became known as Titus Flavius Josephus.
