How do you know? It was mentioned by Homer, wasn't it?
I don't just online consensus. Need to simulate the universe's particles and rewind time like that show Devs to witness it myself.
Ignoring the historical record and academic consensus, its very unlikely this trick could ever work. Ancient people weren't simpletons and the logistics of it all are pretty silly.
Its just poetic fiction in what is a long form poem.
At least not in the Iliad though it gets short mentions in the Odyssey.
Most of what we know of it appeared in non-Homeric stories and most famously (nowadays) in Virgil.
