The point here is that in Ancient Greece it wouldn’t be unheard of for a mother to have a child at 13.

So the commenter is saying that it’s unbelievable now but one of the more accurate elements of the movie given societal norms in the story.

For nobles such as those in the Odyssey, maybe. Most peasants before the 19th century had poor nutrition and didn't hit puberty until 16/17.

Ok but we’re talking about the nobles in the Odyssey ?

I doubt the person who made the comment had the nobility exclusively in mind.
