A helpful thing to remember is that most Greek myths are actually set in a different historical setting from Ancient Greece proper. Most of the stories, like the Trojan War, the adventures of Heracles, etc. are set during the Mycenaean period, which ended about 300-400 years before archaic Greece (the time of Homer) began.
