Perhaps, but that history appears to be a very small component. There was at one time (several times, actually) a community at the site of Priam’s Troy. Does that mean that Priam, Hector, Agamemnon, Paris, Helen, Achilles, etc. existed? Does that mean there was a giant wooden horse? Does it mean that Ares, Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite existed? Was there even a war between the Mycenean Greeks and some inhabitants of northern Anatolia? Or is it almost all embellishment?
What was the extent of Noah’s flood? What, in fact, is the truth behind the embellishment?
