Men of legends, but historically verifiable? Eyyeh?
But these legends surely have progenitors, events worth remembering and propagating. Something had to happen to spawn the legends.
>muh Christcucks and Moses
Not the main point. My main point is men, women, events of legend that may not be the most historically verifiable when compared to, say, the Storming of the Bastille or the Finno-Korean Hyperwar, but something clearly important happened to start these legends.
Unless you honestly think all relitivley unverifiable accounts of history are just BS lies propagated at X date before 300 AD as part of an esoteric circlejerk to brainwash the masses of some other /x/-tier crap. Then you can go fuck yourself.

youre taking it to literaly
they are stories about man, about gods, life, reality, conveying models, guidelines, sets of methaphisical notions, or just bits of folk tales and sincretic religion
they are not about people, not realy, even if they involve some pseudo-history of this tribe or that, the protagonists themselves are stories, symbols and keys
some arbirary set of historic events and conditions might have influenced them, but they are myths, which have a logic of their own
take christ for example
so there might have been some jew named jeshua and he might have been a rabbi in jeruzalem, or maybe even part of some larger sect, but thats just a meaningless historical fact
the word incarnating, living among us, doing miracles and giving sacraments, revealing that which has been hidden since the begining of time etc... crucified buried and rissen on the third day and so on, thats the myth of jesus christ, the logos made flesh, and those are his stories and parrables, its all a myth, but that is why it has actual meaning and value
if it all literaly happened, it would be absurd and ridiculous

>Jimmu, Moses
Definitely not.
>Gilgamesh
Probably based on some early Sumerian king
>Odysseus
The Iliad might have been vaguely based on a real event, but the Odyssey is probably just mythology. It's probably worth noting that Homer himself is probably largely mythological.

Thanks, anon
So many greeks saying that Herakles was their antecessor makes me think that his figure may be inspired on one of the first indo european invader leaders in the peloponeso
