I don't understand why they assume the passage of more time has somehow given later commentators more authority to declare Homer not to have been the author of both works.
The phrase "entirely the work of" is your wording, not mine. Obviously that seems a little unlikely if we're speaking of the versions with which Herodotus was familiar.
