this samuel butler lad (translator) is being annoying in this page lol, i can appreciate the 'idiomatic' nature of his translation that i am yet to read, but changing a Greek novel.poem to Roman names because of better public reception is pure shite.
the footnotes left by the publisher are so funny they changed the names back to greek lmao and jsut got rid of his "not very helpful" notes
