I guess Walsh hasn't watched Memento. Or Inception. Or Interstellar. Or Oppenheimer. (Haven't seen Tenet yet.)
And, as you say, he obviously hasn't read any Homer either. Admittedly, I don't fully remember Odyssey because the version I read was an unmemorable translation, but Iliad is as vivid in my mind as any book I read in the 80s can possibly be, but that one is most certainly not a linear story. It starts about 2/3 into the saga then picks up parts of the story in bits and pieces along the way.
I'd say "historically accurate" would mean understanding Bronze Age Greeks as a people and the world they occupied with all the cultural elements, beliefs etc that came with it, which as the video makes very clear, these people are absolutely clueless about. They can't stop talking about the Western Canon, and yet I'm pretty sure they haven't read any of those books they wax poetic about other than whatever they were assigned back in high school.
