I would lol now....I don't do that kind of stuff though 😐
Anyways of course Achilles never existed in teh way the Iliad presents him if he did at all...but sure your theory could be a possibility...although the guy who wrote it was Greek not Trojan.....

No, Homer added a very specific part about the clash between Achilles and Agamenon to what was already a very extensive mythology. It was like people writing new King Arthur stuff today.

but Homer wrote the story, and he was Greek 😕
and he wrote countless stories that had nothing to do with Troy... and there's been historical references to Homer in other greek findings

even if he was greek, he wasnt actually at the battle. how would he know exactly what went on. and trojans could have "influenced" his story telling, if you know what i mean...
Originally posted by EsteemedLeaderto say that they lost troy and was obliterated from existence? that would be odd...history is written by the victors or something like that.

That is nonsense now....who ever claied that it was an Historical Accurate Source....you know after only three pages in that book you heard of Gods, Half Gods and other Mythological references...it is not accurate in any way...if there was a Trojan war it surely wasn't like it is portrayed in the Iliad (or in Troy for that matter although this sounds more believable)

You are making a huge mistake there.
Gods and half gods everything it was a part of everyday live there, everything that happened happened because of gods. Many people claimed to have seen gods, half gods appeared sometimes. To say this could not have happened because of that is bullshit, because thats how they saw a lot of things.
Alexander claimed he was a god, his mother had claimed the same, the Egyptians pretty much agreed. Doesn't make him any less true.

exactly. if people saw a bird, the gods did it. dropped an apple, gods did it. they were hospitable people only for the thought that their visitors could be gods. not very cool at all...

I didn't say it never happened...I said it can't have happened the way it was protrayed...which is rather obvious ......
As for the Alexander coment..him claiing that he was a god doesn't make him less existing true...but it doesn't make Books aboot him right that say he was a god that lifted 20tons and shot Thunder from his butt hole 😐

Well okay, that didn't happen, but there its based on a truth. It almost always is.

Just because something has been embellished, doesn't mean the base facts are not true.
I believe that the Trojan war hapened...but I don't know if there was anyone called Achilles in it (could be just fiction...like Rambo or something......actually that's a pretty good example...I don't doubt that the Vietnam War happened but Rambo is fictional......), and for his conspiracy well.....I don't see any base top assume that on actually......
