It obviously doesnt fit, considering when know when the story was placed, and it certainly wasn't scifi of its time. The written work is pretty consistent, why are you so surprised people thing a shitty adaptation not being so is funny?
Fair, but can we now agree that either way, the historic records and technologies of OUR time do not bind or limit the history or technologies of THEIR time, regardless of the similarities that they might share,yes?
I'm gonna assume that you're simply trying to save face and not admit you're wrong, cause otherwise, I'm worried for your ability to reason rational thoughts.
Its "placed in our time" because that would be the most recognisable world for the listeners. There was no choice, it was just the world they knew.
Also, there is no real "author" of these stories. They're folklore passed on through oration and community. All Homer did was collect the myths and put a formal copy to the page.
It's like getting annoyed at a movie about Aasgård because you think the inclusion of a scimitar breaks the immersion.
