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

Right end of the bell curve: wow signed first edition of the Illiad is so rare

(The Illiad as a modern translated work can have multiple editions from an author)

    Actual Right End: that's not what you'd refer to as a first edition of The Illiad, unless you're an idiot

    I can get you a signed edition of the Bible right now as long as you don’t care which company printed it or who signs it

    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.
