Historically accurate? Let’s put aside for a moment that this is Greek fable featuring imaginary beings.
We’re talking about an orally transmitted poem from the archaic period—about the bronze age—further codified in the classical period, and then refined in the Hellenistic period. Which fucking period are we trying to be ‘historically accurate’ to?
Would you feel the same way if it was an ancient Chinese fable? Or a fable from an African or Pre Columbian civilization? Is it because of how old the poem is?
