I don't think this post is a dig against the movie as a piece of entertainment, just as a source for ancient mythology.

But at the end of the day, be it a 2D animated Disney movie or the mythical canon of ancient Greece, it's all just stuff from a long time ago, right? Who's to say which of them actually came first? It's all he said / she said / Homer said at this point. I guess we just have to come to terms with the fact that we'll never really know.
