We don't have contemporary accounts of Hannibal of Carthage either but there's reason to think he didn't exist. And other historical figures such as Julias Caesar have had supernatural events and powers grafted onto them. There was a Roman Emperor who was claimed to have restored the sight of a blind man by rubbing his spit into the mans eyes.
When people start attempting to influence legislation, school curriculum, etc in the name of Hannibal, Caesar or any other (psuedo-)historical figure, I'll care whether or not the historical accounts of their lives are wholly accurate.
Their relevance to my life is vanishingly close to zero. As Jesus fetishists don't enjoy that status, much to my chagrin, they don't get a pass.

That jolly fat fuck stiffed me on the minibike I asked for in 1978. I got socks and underwear instead.
Fuck Santa.
