  1. Of course the Iliad isn't reliable. After all, it treats Troy as an historical city, the Trojan Horse as an historical artifact, Hector as an historical figure, and Athena as a living entity capable of influencing history. German scholarship has long debunked all such archaic notions.

  2. Another fraud in the academic community. So what's new?
