Homer had the listed cities [including the City of Pigeons?]that contributed troops and ships to the Trojan War arranged as the points of a Maltese Cross which could only be seen from space. How did he know that? Some of the cities` remains have been discovered right where Homer said they were via satellite photos...hmmmmm

Very accurate maps were made centuries before it was possible to see the Earth from Space. There is no mystery here.
