Hence my post about circular reasoning: the bible is true because the bible says so . . .
Those were stories, everyone knows that.
We've found Troy.
There's evidence of battles being fought there.
We have evidence that a number of people mentioned actually existed, particularly Agamemnon.
Since this is much of the evidence criteria Christians use to claim the veracity of the bible, then we can logically use it to verify the accuracy of the Odyssey
