Plan for My Essay

I have slightly changed my question to:

To what extent did the Olympian religion influence other religions?

Just because the question I had before was a little bit broad, I wanted to narrow it down just so it appears that I am answering the question in my essay. Here are the three points that I will be talking about in my essay:

Roman Mythology v.s Greek Mythology
It is common knowledge that Greek mythology had a heavy influence over Roman Mythology, but of course it is the question of how much influence. For example, I know that the Romans changes the names of the immortals when they introduced the Greek mythology, but I wondered why and where did the names come from. 

Christianity v.s. Greek Mythology
I chose Christianity as another paragraph because I knew that Christianity was created during the time where Greek mythology was popular and I wondered is their was any parallels between the two different religions.

Hellenistic Religion v.s. Greek Mythology
I only found out about this religion when I was researching for any other religions that were influenced by the Greeks. Its not so much of a religion. but it is a belief system used by the people that was mostly influenced by the Greeks, but it also has other religions incorporated with it as well, such as the Romans and Egyptology. I don't know a lot on this religion like the others, but I plan to find out.
