And if there are no Greeks, why the Trojans can converse with the Mycenaean without translators in the Iliad 

The Illiad is epic narrative verse, not prose reportage. It is (whisper this) largely made up. ‘Homer’ may not have existed as a single entity, or lived centuries after the Trojan War. Or both.

 

Obvious contrarian and passive aggressive old prat, who is taken far too seriously by some and not seriously enough by others.
