Sorry, but we don't allow questions asking for examples of x throughout history--they're too broad, and lend themselves to collections of trivia, rather than good discussion.

You may be interested in suggesting it as a topic for our "Tuesday Trivia" feature, or the section in the FAQ about Jesus' historicity.

Around the year 400 CE, there was apparently a power struggle in Constantinople between the prefect Aurelian and an unknown rival. Our only source for this conflict is the Egyptian Tale, by bishop Synesius of Ptolemais; but Synesius framed the whole narrative as an ancient Egyptian myth, with Aurelian as Osiris and his rival as Osiris’ brother Typho.
