I could be wrong on this, as I'm too lazy to fact check, so I will offer these two "factoids" as hearsay for now:
1. I recall that the events described in the Illiad did not take place in Homer's lifetime, but much earlier.
2. The Bahagavad Gita, which is one of the texts the previous poster alluded to, is likewise a tale of events that allegedly unfolded long before its writing (some 5000 years ago allegedly).
