@AlpineLingual@HomerPavlos Those are dates of translations published in Latin. The original works written in the authors' languages were lost, like most ancient books.
@UserX436700@HomerPavlos They were obviously not written by eyewitnesses. Dyctis' was published in the fourth century AD, Dares' around the same time. I think you're trolling cause theres no way you believe this
The Iliad begins with the sentence “Sing, goddess, the anger of Peleus’ son Achilles.” If you pay more attention to who is better, Hector or Achilles, than to understanding what Homer wants to teach you, then you have failed. Read it again carefully.
“ Anti-Christ announced TODAY ”
Israeli Rabbi- Baruch Rosenblum, says Jews are expecting the announcement of the Jewish Moshiach (The Anti-Christ) this TODAY
@AlpineLingual@HomerPavlos Homer's story is not the original story, it is a fantasy tale.
The two works I mentioned were written by eyewitnesses, a Greek soldier and a Trojan priest who lived the story.
I don't know why you say they were written much later, maybe you're confused by the translation dates.
@UserX436700@HomerPavlos Those sources are much later and explicitly told in a way to demythologize the original story. Sorry, but the homeric poems and the other stories of the epic cycle are the foundation.
@HomerPavlos Who wants to know the true story of the fall of Troy without Homer's bias should read:
Ephemeris Belli Troiani by Dictis Cretense. The story told by a Greek soldier.
De Excidio Troiae Historia by Dares Frigio. The story told by a Trojan priest.
Homer is not history.
@HomerPavlos Homer is fantasy, vice, and propaganda.
Xenophanes, Heraclitus, Plato criticized him for that. They said that Homer had to be expelled and the myths rewritten.
Achilles fights for glory, is an egomaniac.
Hector fights to defend his family and his people, a virtuous man.
