That said, I don't think variations in literature (particularly one already so bloody-minded as the Iliad) can account for the MU's divergeance, nor do I think they necessary indicate when the timeline diverged. I think it's possible and I daresay likely that a civilization like this one would have no problem going back and editing classic works of literature to something more to their taste.

That was my take on it. A large scale Ministry of Truthesque rewrite of all major literature.
I think there was a line in the book stating that the divergence started around the time of the Eugenics Wars, but I could be misremembering.
