Regarding hAREIOS POTER, I got my copy in the mail yesterday, and am
happy to report that it is in fact real and in fact in Greek. I'm not
really equipped to evaluate the quality of the translation (since I've
only studied Biblical Greek, I lack much of the vocabulary.)
I'm curious - is anyone aware of another, similar case of a
contemporary work being translated into Ancient Greek?
