I think this is the first time I have ever seen

“evolutionary-linguistic phylogenetic statistical methods to differences in Homeric, Modern Greek and ancient Hittite vocabulary items” in a sentence.

I seem to have enough trouble with simple english pronouns, this, well this is probably all Turkish to me

Here we apply evolutionary-linguistic phylogenetic statistical methods to differences in Homeric, Modern Greek and ancient Hittite vocabulary items to estimate a date of approximately 710-760 BCE BC for these great works.

estimate a date of approximately 710-760 BCE for these great works

At least as the time they were written down...not necessarily the time they were created...

We then used a likelihood-based Markov chain Monte Carlo procedure to estimate

What did Homer say?

I don't know it was all Greek to me.

Not your father's ancient Greek. Nor your forefathers.
