I guess when you get right down to it Homer was what we would describe as a media person today and was spinning a good tale in support of his side.

Perhaps, but I don’t even think we need to blame Homer for spinning....he likely inherited a story that was somewhat spun already.

Greeks returning from an Anatolian war would have retold what happened from their perspective. Their Greek listeners, who likely had never been to Anatolia, then imagined the city based on what they knew in Greece.

And which side do you think Homer was on?
