You guys realize this wasn't a historical event right? It's a book. It's all made up.

Helen of Troy was the daughter of Zeus and a goose and was hatched out of an egg. She's not a real person.

I dont think it does any favors to an argument to claim "it's all fake and made up" when someone asks for accuracy.

Anansi was made up, but if Brad Pitt was cast in the role, there would be reasonable complaints about it.

It is part of someone's culture and heritage. There is a minimum level of respect due to all cultures.

Anansi isn’t Achilles
