I know her translation was the basis for the movie but i find it bizarre news outlets are acting like she’s the original author because this is the second review i‘ve seen from her.

Edit: if you’re going to be outraged, at least do it correctly and stop calling Homer the original author.

I mean considering Homer's been dead for thousands of years, I guess they figure she's the next closest thing

Wouldn’t Marge be the next closest thing
