Almost beyond the shadow of a doubt. The tale is related to us from a number of different sources, some of the historic, and they all tell basically the same story. Some elements are obviously mythic, because they didn't have other explanations for the happenings (like the plague that struck the Greek camp after the sacking of the Temple of Apollo).
