3 centuries and more before the year zero, to put into context. Imo the Greeks had extended knowledge of the Indian Vedas which state the future coming of The Savior. The Greeks engineered a global psyop and it kind of worked. Ultimately it broke down because Alexander pushed too hard too soon into the East. My personal opinion is that burning down the Library of Persepolis was the final drop that changed the luck against him. Some historics say he deeply regretted doing that shit, but you can hardly unsuck a dick.
To keep it short, his father Filip II made sure he got the perfect conditions growing up for his boy. He didn't school only his son but a group of future generals also which was obviously key years later. After Alexander's death, the Empire was split in 4. Your Bible today is the consequences of a dynasty controlling Egypt for more than 300y, especially Alexandria.
This is an extremely fruitful rabbit hole. Maybe only the Collapse of the Bronze Age could rival in parts.
