I had to check if it's true because it sounds too stupid.

They don't say it's signed but do say it's first edition. It seems like a horrible movie.

    Didn't we already have this a few months ago? Yeah, it's stupid but not that stupid, because it could simply refer to one of the many translations of the Iliad, which are still being written and sometimes do receive a new edition after a while. My partner is a classical archeologist, and she would go bonkers if someone gifted her a signed first edition of Emily Wilson's recent translation of the Iliad.

    Homer's The Iliad was an oration at first before it was written down hundreds of years later.

    That's because it's not the IIiad, but the Iliad. I guess it could be the lliad but you usually capitalize book titles I think?

    First edition of a translation? First edition by that particular publisher? I don't see how this is so outrageous.
