if you're gonna be autistic about a book, then just ask for a certain translation too.
it's your fault for not being specific about what you want.

which one is it

Spotted the socially inadept autist.

Let me translate to you what OP is trying to communicate with us here

>OP wanted Iliad and Odyssey for birthday
>his mother bought him wrong translation
>this may have been real or an imaginary event; the point is that OP is trying to appeal to us by referring to common concern and interest

What you should respond is:
>Haha, oh man! Normies don't understand anything, amirite? Unlike us, amirite! Haha, let's go read War and Peace over a fireplace drinking scotch and forgetting about all the normies.

To be honest your post was significantly more autistic than his was.

Butler is not that bad for a prose translation. Read it anyway, see how you like it.
