Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proofs. The Iliad is not billed as the "word of God". If you were to read Julian Jaynes book THE ORIGINS OF CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE BREAKDOWN OF THE BI-CAMERAL MIND you would discover how someone could have written a text and truthfully believed that it was God talking to them when in fact it was the right side of the brain dictating to the left. The right/left brain connection that we take for granted is a relatively new addition to our brains and one of the reasons that the Voice of God doesn't speak to us like we used to think that it did.
