I know this totally makes me "that guy", but it could very well be a signed first edition of a specific translation of the Iliad.
I don't think anyone cares that much about a translator's signature, but who knows.
I'm sure the Jlo slop vehicle meant this
Nerds do. I wouldn’t mind a signed copy of Tolkien’s Beowulf.
That reminds me. A friend of mine translated a German Longsword fighting manual. I need to get her to sign my copy.
Fitzgerald or Lattimore?
Hit that Pope translation. Heroic couplets ftw.
Well, I am due for a re-read. Thanks for the suggestion!
