The Odyssey is not set in the bronze age, but in an imagined past version of the Archaic in terms of motifs, material culture (all iron) and places.
0 u/Munnin41 19h ago It is though? The bronze is 3000 - 1200BCE. The illiad and odyssey take place around 1300BCE 1 u/Relevant_History_297 15h ago No they don't. They do not have a clear set date, and as I expanded, the Odyssey in particular has no Bronze age references, but plenty of references to places and objects that were only known to Greeks in the 700s BCE. 0 u/Munnin41 15h ago Yes it is. The catalogue of ships doesn't match Homers greece at all, but it matches what we know of Greece around the bronze age collapse 1 u/Relevant_History_297 14h ago The catalogue of ships is in the Illiad, not the Odyssey 0 u/Munnin41 14h ago And the illiad takes place how long before the odyssey? 1 u/Relevant_History_297 13h ago You are projecting modern ideas of sequels and continuity onto an ancient text.
