    Discussing the (historical) accuracy of the Odyssey, is a lot like debating whether or not modern Godzilla movies are canonical.

      debating whether or not modern Godzilla movies are canonical.

      Honestly even that argument has more weight imo, “canonical” for Gojira means Toho Approved™, unless Toho has spoken, there’s room for debate. For instance “American no, Toho yes” is my stance (without consulting Toho, but they have final say.)

      It’s pretty clear The Iliad and Odyssey are not “canon” to reality lol. Honestly more like “debating the historical accuracy of The Odyssey is like debating the historical accuracy of Gojira” lol.
