Even I, a complete idiot on Greek can see how Matthew, Mark and Luke are fairly unsophisticated in comparison to difficult passages of Homer, or Plato.
You keep trying to hijack. The point is that they were educated by Greeks, writing for Greeks, employing Greek invented philosophy and dramatic methods. The point is that Christianity as known and practiced by humans in recorded history, ever since before it was called Christianity, is a fusion of Greek culture and Judaism.
