The Greek pantheon is full of dead, resurrected, and ascended gods, and half divine half human beings that became immortal.
So no one back then would have any problem with the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus. Such things were used for teaching back then, Jew or otherwise....
Which is why Christianity could so easily spread in the Roman world ...
