I was just about to make a similar post. For anyone unaware, the Odyssey, and the Iliad before it, are FICTION. Historically-inspired fiction, but still fiction. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ju...
Musk’s image isn't “historically accurate.” In Ancient Greece, free men had noticeably darker skin than they do today. It was seen as a sign of prestige because it meant you were outside on campaigns or training. Free women had paler skin - again, prestige. Slaves had the darkest skin from exposure.
If you’re really curious they even made a scale model that actually works (it’s basically a very very large reed basket covered in natural tar). BBC4 produced a doc on it and NOVA showed it in the US on PBS www.pbs.org/video/nova-s...
Because they have this on TV for news. www.foxnews.com/travel/resea...
They have a park in the US that teaches it as reality. Kids were sent there for school trips. They are nuts www.friendlyatheist.com/p/ark-encoun...
A myth consistent with historically accurate source material would be historically accurate. scandinaviafacts.com/norse-thor-v...
