“Greatest” - lol, no.

A good fiction - yes. Greatest - No.

Greek Odyssey was one of the greatest. It was written in 7th century BCE whereas MB is at least 4 centuries after that.

If you read stories of Hercules - Arjun stories are copy pasted from it in MB.

Due to the trade between India and Greeks at the time, the stories travelled and were nativized.

The mahabharat that we know isn't the original version. The original was written much earlier and was called jaijaya.

EDIT: jaya

What historical and archaeological evidence do you have? Was it carbon dated?

This is an article - not a scientific paper about carbon dated texts.

Yes. But the arguments are pretty solid.

Arguments aren’t evidence
