Christos is a term that existed long term Jesus and is derived from Bronze Age Greek. In Homer, Odysseus is introduced as looking for plants he can harvest in order to christ his arrows with poison. Christing arrows with poison is one of the core motifs that sets the reality of the ancient world in order. The reason that eos is both arrow and poison, that Artemis is both the arrow-pourer and the poison-pourer, is that poisoned arrows were one of the major technologies of the Bronze Age. Heracles does the same thing when he overcomes the hydra and christs his arrows with the venom of a many headed snake monster. What this really describes is his murder of a guardian of technology and the theft of an entire tool kit of poisons, many being derived from snake venom.
The refinement of poison into a useful drug precipitated the use of christing to mean applying a drug to one’s body, the same as one smears it on an arrow. It’s a ubiquitous terminology that is pervasive in the Greek medical literature as well as in cult texts. There are even practices of christing clothing, which is why it’s such a big deal in the biblical texts when someone touches a prophet’s robe, why a woman is made to see when she touches Jesus’ cloak.
Jesus Christ is a combination of two Greek cult titles that effectively means “drug-smeared drug-user”
The entire idea of “anointing” is bullshit, no one was just rubbing on smelly oil and thinking it meant some special status. Ancient people weren’t fucking stupid. You become special when you rub the drug cream into your eyes and see the invisible. It’s a neurotoxin so you might go blind with overuse, and it might dry into a scaly mess that you have to wash off at a ritual bath, like a certain Paul of Tarsus.
