The two in the middle are documented Historical figures.. The other four are known to be myth even in the countries of origin.

What is the difference between:
Zues and Hercules, Yahweh and Yahshua, Odin and Thor?

Zeus: The king of gods. Not all-powerful, or all-knowing. Although he has a lot of power, he can be overpowered by other gods, and he holds no power over fate, despite his foresight. Often considered the father of gods and man, even though the gods were created by Chaos, and he himself was the grandson of the original gods. Man has several accounts of creation, usually not involving Zeus. We even get the sense from some stories that Zeus hates humans.

Hercules/Heracles: The son of Zeus, born a man, but raised to deity. He was born to a mortal woman after Zeus impregnated her, and Zeus' wife Hera become jealous and continually tortured him. Despite being mortal, Hercules possessed super-human strength, but he lacked the ability to control his temper. After dying a tragic death, caused accidentally by his wife, Zeus made him an Olympian, where he even received Hera's approval.

Yahweh: The all-powerful, all-knowing creator of everything, both a God of wrath and mercy. "Yahweh" was the considered the unspeakable name of this God, and even writing of the name was followed by washing of hands and prayer. Unlike other gods, Yahweh is without any weakness.

Yahshua/Jesus: The Son of Man and Son of God. Unlike demigods of Greek tradition, Jesus was both fully man and fully God. Also unlike the demigods, Jesus was not separate from His Father, but He was the physical manifestation of His Father.

I cannot comment on Odin and Thor. I don't know much about them, besides the fact that Odin is a summon in Final Fantasy VII and that Thor has a comic book series.

Awesome! I loved that answer!
But how does it make one group true and the other not?

Is Josephus to be considered a bronze age author of myth?

Are you a christian or are you simply pretending to be one with the icon you have decided to use?

I could argue about invalidity of josesphus' 2 mentions of jesus, a few examples would be that the passage doesnt fit in with the rest of his writings and once removed returns to his way of writing as well and using the word christian before it was even used. But even if it does mention a man named jesus how does this prove his divinity?

I'm sorry did you read too far into my original assessment? You asked for the differences between the 6 names you posted. I simply pointed out 4 of them are confirmed myth, and two were not.

Despite what you think you can argue, the very fact that you have to argue any of what was said by this third party historian, eliminates the verification of the myth status of Jesus.

Therefore my original assessment stands.
