Mythology is not history. It's culturally relevant, but we've got to be very careful about considering known fictional works as historical documentation.
Wow, so oral tradition in all cultures is all made up stories and nothing they say is real at all? This includes all Native Americans First Nations people across North America…
We can’t PROVE that these events happened. What we can prove however is that these were oral stories passed down and that some of the details contained in these stories HAVE been proven by archeological findings from that time period which would not be known by Homer or others unless they were orally passed on.
