    Historically accurate? Ooookayyy…

    Here’s a historically accurate list of all the things Musk said one of his companies would achieve in the near future, e.g. build a base on Mars.

    I guess this one, too, will make it to that site soon.

    Sorry, OP, for the downvotes you’re getting. This is hilarious. Wrong comm maybe.

      It’s unfortunate that flairs don’t federate from Piefed to Lemmy yet, I assume downvotes are coming from Lemmy users who don’t see that this is tagged as humour.

        People just use downvotes as an “I don’t like this” button as opposed to a “this doesn’t contribute to the community” button.

        I don’t like this, but I do think it contributes to the community, so you get an upvote from me sir or madam.

    Historically accurate to what? The era it might have been written in? The era it might have been set in? We don’t know if the Odyssey was really written by Homer and when he would have lived (ca. 8th century BC, possibly earlier?) nor do we know if and when the Trojan War really happened (14th to 12th century BC?).

    What we do know is that the Iliad and Odyssey are not accurate historical accounts but fantasy stories that are loosely based on events that may or may not have happened centuries before they were written down.

    Bitch, The Original Text was not historically accurate. It featured technology and even deities that weren’t even around during the Bronze age Collapse, when the story was meant to be set. But I’m sure by “historically accurate” he means “everyone is white, including the north Africans”.

    And if you’re curious, The Iliad and Odyssey are set during the Greek dark ages, when the Greeks lost writing (yes, that happened) and probably during the early years of the bronze age collapse if theories are correct (basically when everything’s up in the air). If you were wondering what deity appears in The Iliad that shouldn’t appear, that would be Aphrodite, who first made an appearance during the Greek dark ages.

    Can’t wait for him release absolutely nothing by the end of year, and then pretend he didn’t said that.

    What part of history exactly? The time it was composed? Or the time it’s set in?
