2 people had such a diverse library and interest in multiculture's mythologies and faiths, that could have compiled that image and that was Appollonias of Tyana (also from Tarsus and called Pol) and Constantine who had Eusebius plagiarize and forge texts. The only smoking gun of which one most likely created the image is the fact the newer texts after Constantine had changed, including Josephus writings.Image of a man...Ironically this image was given breath and a life in the pages of a book.. No different then idol worshipping an image made of stone or wood or anything under heaven...
The forgeries are in the Eusebius era, but it's possible Pol=Paul who wrote 3/4 the initial stories that plagiarized Baal, Mithra, and Zoroastrian myths and tablets along with OT plagiarism and stolen roles given to the image's character.
