2010-11-19 [windowframe]: You added Herodotus the wrong way round! :O All the rest are Title; Author, and you added him as Author, Title. :3

Also: The Odyssey is by "Homer" (love the bunny-ears, I command it <_<) Lattimore is a translator. Cool to list translators, but you're attributing The Histories to Herodotus, not the translator (unless you read it in the Greek? :O)

PS. Nitpicking means I care. :P

2010-11-19 [Akayume]: Oh no, I've never read it in Greek. I want to though! One of my goals is to take Ancient Greek 1001-1004 my junior/senior year of college, although somewhere along there I want to study in France. So maybe I'll learn Greek in France? XP Je ne sais pas.

2010-11-19 [Akayume]: And it says "The Odyssey of Homer", so I mean Homer is attributed there.

2010-11-19 [windowframe]: Sure, but you're still attributing the translator, rather than the accepted author, which you're not doing in the case of any other book you've listed, where you're only mentioning original author and not translator. So it makes it look like Lattimore is the actual author, since his name is in the place for authors. (The title also makes it look like he wrote a non-fiction analysis of the Odyssey, I always thought :P)

2010-11-19 [Akayume]: Well, I more or less nabbed it off the book cover itself (Which was The Odyssey of Homer and then Lattimore's name below it.)

2010-11-19 [windowframe]: Yeah, I know the book; I've seen the cover. It annoys me, even if it is a good translation. :P It's not SO good he can pretend he's the original author. X) (though I suspect it was the publisher's decision to make his name so prominent, rather than his). Amazon does it all the time - it prioritises the translators name over the actual author (if the author is lucky enough to get mentioned at all). I love translators, and the definitely deserve recognition. But not more recognition than the author of the work they're translating. <_<

2010-11-19 [Akayume]: I would agree. When I read Battle Royale it took me forever to find the original author's name (since it's written in Japanese and then was translated into English).

2010-11-19 [Akayume]: And I changed the Odyssey for you. :p

2010-11-19 [windowframe]: <3 :P

2010-11-20 [Akayume]: X3 Huzzah!
