That's OK.
I know Babbage's engine came before Zuse, C++ came after Ada.
But an ode need not be historically correct. Would you claim Edda is historically correct?
Ár var alda, þat er Ymir bygði,
Vara sandr né sær né svalar unnir;
iorð fannz æva né upphiminn,
gap var ginnunga, enn gras hvergi.
Translate this and it will give about the same as the first verse above.
