No. Homer describes a bronze age helmet, but his verses are very much later
than the helmet. The oral tradition about the helmet survived. The
Hebrew Bible describes a whole bunch of stuff, some of which may be
historical, but it does not mean the Hebrew was actually written at the date
it is talking about. The oral traditions survive.
