The new testament borrows heavily from classical mythology for Jesus's story.

Both Julius and Augustus had such tropes inserted into their biographies as well.

It's more a case of common origin than either one coming from the other.

Have a read of The Jesus Mysteries by Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy.
