Three of 4 gospels start with not Jesus, but John the Baptist, a historical figure with a significant following and large reputation in his era - he shows up in the Jesus legends to lend credibility to them.
Luke's gospel begins with the myth of John's birth, told simultaneously with the story of Jesus' birth - two babies whose births were promised to change the world.
