It's total fucking horseshit. Check that off the list.
He needs to explain Zeus becoming a swan and fucking a woman. That needs as much, or more, explanation.
Besides, he has had the explanation. It was explained in post 2 of this thread. It is a fucking work of fiction. Everything since has been pretty much a waste of everyone's time, since that deals with the issue.
Maybe I should start demanding an explanation for Santa Claus delivering presents to children throughout the world. This involves something actually happening, as children do commonly get presents at Christmas. This makes it much more real and in need of explanation than his bullshit story of a bunch of savages claiming some nonsense.
