No one in antiquity would have thought he was born of a virgin, the word used in the original greek is parthenos, which also just means young woman. The virgin reading is just a translation error afaik.
And it’s about a completely different woman than Mary anyway. The prophet says “Look, the woman is pregnant, it will be a boy named Emmanuel and before he is a few years old this war will be over” and some idiot was like “This is definitely talking about Jesus”
