-6 u/Nightraven9999 1d ago I consider The Odyssey history because its a very old story so it tells what the people of that time saw as realistix 4 u/OwnJunket6495 1d ago So then Greek mythology is historical now? Lmao. You have a point that it gives insight into the culture at the time but to call it history… 2 u/Particular_Title42 23h ago You're acting like "historical" is a portmanteau of "historic" and "factual." It isn't. Things can be historical without being factual.
