Yes the Greek Empire came before the earthly birth of Jesus Christ in approximately 6 BC.
If you mean that the ancient civilization of Greece existed before Christ, then the answer is "yes".
Greek mythology was written long before the New Testament. Greek mythology dates back to Ancient Greece (800 to 500 B.C.E.) while the New Testament wasn't even begun until about 70 years after the death of Jesus in 33 C.E.
This question is the equivalent of asking "Why is jesus so important in christianity" She is just a part of it
Ancient Greece did, in fact, come before the birth of Jesus Christ. That is, its origins and early development, its Classical Period, its dissemination in the Hellenistic Period, and then its decline in the 2nd century B.C.E. -- all occurred before Christ's birth during the early years of the Roman Empire.
The Greek gods and goddess were immortal, so Zeus never died, thus no one took over. If speaking about the practice and belief of Greek Mythology itself, Zeus died and Jesus took over.
In a way, yes. Mythology is what a culture defines itself by. In that way, Greek mythology was to the Greeks what the Bible is to modern Christians. It was the religion that they held dear. In most ways, it was very similar to the religion of Rome in the time of Jesus. It is a collection of stories that define what is held to be important to the culture and gives "reasons" for the natural occurrences that we face- earthquakes, floods, rain, sunshine, the beginning of the world, etc.
in Greek mythology before the gods where born the titans ruled the earth.

No he had nothing to do with Greek mythology he was a real Jew
There is no Joseph in Greek Mythology. Joseph of the Christian bible and Abraham faiths is either the son of Jacob or the adopted father of Jesus and husband of Mary.
Of course not, Greek mythology is in no way even related to Christianity.
Athena is the Greek goddess of wisdom, the arts, and battle strategies. She has no relation with Jesus because they are from two different religions. Athena is from Greek mythology while Jesus is from Christianity.
Jesus returning is part of Christian mythology. It won't happen so the question is moot.

There have been many gods, most of them pre-date Jesus. All the Roman and Greek gods for instance.
In Greek mythology, Gaia is considered to be one of the primordial deities representing the Earth. She is the personification of the Earth and is often depicted as the mother of all beings. While Gaia is a figure in Greek mythology, she should not be confused with the major gods and goddesses like Zeus or Athena.
