dunno maybe they could think hinges aren't worth the effort when you don't need them for something important?

well painted walls are not important too and yet they had beautiful wall paintings so why not doors with hinges?

Anyone who actually read it and didn't immediately realize it a was mythologized retelling of real events is an idiot
>x guy came from brought y ships, and commanded z men and horses
>other x guy brought y ships and commanded z men and horses
>oh and this other guy brought y ships and commanded z men and horses
>*continue on in this manner for the equivalent of like 4 pages*
Does this seem like something someone just making up a story from scratch would bother to add?

It was likely real, and Homer just probably added some mythical elements and fanfics to appeal to the Greek ideals of kleos. There's some pretty solid evidence of Troy in modern Turkey.
