There was probably a war that happened at Troy, but it wasn't the Trojan war as recalled in the Iliad.

Hector was based.

Achilles was a whining Mary Sue cuck.

Suuure. And Homer was 1000 different persons. Just like Troy's pure fiction.

Bro achilles cried to mommy about literally everything

>>14957110
and fuck the bitch godess who plotted against hector.

This.

There's probably no greater person than Hector, except maybe Aeneas.

Also, fuck Achilles, I'm glad he was killed by Paris.

One thing I like about the Iliad is that there are heroes in both sides. Neither side is "good" or "evil". We apparently can't have that in modern culture, possibly to Jewish influence and WWII mythos, one side always needs to be the absolute evil that must be exterminated. Even Star Wars pays lip service to the notion that there needs to be a "balance" of the force, but that is not true in practice. In practice the light side must win and the dark annihilated.

Homer does kind of portray Hector, his family and Priam as really cool dudes while Greeks are almost universally shown to be selfish, greedy, cheaters and petty

Your source literally makes the connection between Troy VIIa and the Trojan war which is only further strengthened as more archaeological excavations are made. Obviously most of the mythical shit and the Trojan horse were false but judging by archaeology and the immediate aftermaths of the war, it was most likely a war between Some kind of Greek confederation and Troy
Just because the real Gilgamesh didn't have the powers of the mythical version doesn't mean the connection is wrong

Why /ourgay/ Heraclitus hated Homer so much? Was Iliad truly unbased and bluepilled?

Doggerland, Eye of Sahara, Scandinavia, etc. – which one are you thinking?
