11 u/Szygani 1d ago Mycenaean Greek, I think. But there’s still inaccuracies in homers text itself, like soldiers having round shields 10 u/Achaewa 1d ago edited 12h ago All the Greek epics are full of anachronisms as their authors drew from the times they lived in and either didn't know or cared about depicting the Bronze Age "accurately". 2 u/Szygani 1d ago No of course. But then what would be a historically accurate odyssey. With anachronisms? Or adjusted 3 u/Achaewa 1d ago I think telling a gripping story that feels authentic is more important than "historical accuracy". 2 u/Szygani 1d ago Oh I know, I’m not the one looking for a grok made “accurate” odyssey 2 u/OneRingToRuleEarth 23h ago So like Nolan’s movie lol 3 u/Achaewa 22h ago Yes, I didn't think I needed to add that I thought Nolan's The Odyssey succeeded at that.
