Mythicism is basically a dead position. Nobody in academia supports it, outside of a few diehards who have basically lost all credibility years ago. The problem is that it is simply bad historical scholarship. If it were taken seriously, it would mean that nearly nobody in history can be convincingly proven to exist.
