Actual Right End: that's not what you'd refer to as a first edition of The Illiad, unless you're an idiot
Further right of the bell curve than you just to win the silly semantics game you're playing: if you're calling it "The Illiad" and not "Ἰλιάς" you are defacto referring to the book titled "The Illiad" which is the English translation which indeed had a much more recent publication date than the original work.

Technically, he doesn't invent them. He's just riding the trend.
Also, probably the best scene in that movie.
A bit more nuanced then I remembered.

Also, ooof. Not that this looks to be a fine piece of cinema, but the writer didn't put this into the script, the director did. Apparently it's an 1884 printing of an 1853 edition of a 1720 translation (Pope's), so in no way whatsoever is it first edition of, well, anything. Maybe the worst part of it is that there was absolutely no reason to linger over the title. They never even say the name of the book.
The description says "psychological thriller", but the cinematography is giving me "Netflix romcom".

Left end of the bell curve: wow signed first edition of the Illiad is so rare
Middle of the bell curve: haha she's stupid because Homer is from ancient Greece

She obviously meant the first edition Penguin classics paperback.

Alexander Pope.

It was a long time ago and they were just guessing at what written language was even going to look like. That they got it in perfect English minus one word is remarkable.

You say, as you spell 'The Illiad' in English, the earliest instance of which was translated in the 1600s.

I’m also in possession of original hand-written letters by Jesus Christ himself, inside the original envelope complete with the “par avion” stamp that my neighbour gifted me.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]It's okay because when your friend decides to give you a makeover so you can be "hot" they just need to take your glasses off after they fix your hair. It's fine really. No issues at all. Why did you have them on in the first place?
