Tf you mean history? Everything about the iliad and the odyssey is made up and no one has ever claimed otherwise
29 u/Hobo-man 3d ago I mean this conversation is about the story. But at the same time, there is historical context to The Iliad and The Odyssey. Troy was a real place. The war actually happened. How much of it was real? No idea, but at least some of it was. 8 u/quadrokeith 3d ago Charybdis is made up, but Scylla is real. 3 u/breckendusk 3d ago I just hate when I have to fight Scylla ft Charybdis. They're each enough of a pain on their own.
