    Actual Right End: that’s not what you’d refer to as a first edition of The Illiad, unless you’re an idiot

          I can do a first edition of the Bible. No guarantees on which edition though.

      Further right of the bell curve than you just to win the silly semantics game you’re playing: if you’re calling it “The Illiad” and not “Ἰλιάς” you are defacto referring to the book titled “The Illiad” which is the English translation which indeed had a much more recent publication date than the original work.

      You say, as you spell ‘The Illiad’ in English, the earliest instance of which was translated in the 1600s.
