@grumpybozo@toad.social Interesting; I hadn't known of Hesiod's list; thanks! Hesiod's timing is roughly equivalent to that of Homer, so it would not have been an improbable mention in the Odyssey, but the Trojan War was several hundred years earlier, which makes the phrase anachronistic coming from Odysseus.

@SteveBellovin@infosec.exchange I’m pretty sure Homer invented most of his dialogue. :)
