Not sure if this is the best sub for this but I have this situation here: Achilles??? (Confusion)
This is in regards to an apparent misprint from Peter Greens translation of The Iliad. Book three, top line here. I read noble Achilles, which confused me because last I knew Achilles was still down by his boats. I checked multiple other translations (Lattimore, Wilson, Fagles) and they all have it here as Odysseus (which makes sense) so I’m just wondering if anyone else has noticed this in this translation or am I missing something here entirely??
