Description

Here is the transcription of the text from the comic:

CLASSICIST "Yes, one really must read in the original Greek."

LITERARY THEORIST "It's as good in English or any alternate language so long as the translation is good. The original intention is separate from the final product, which is art unto itself!"

PHYSICIST "Whoa. This is the longest equation I've ever seen."

Text on the book cover in all panels: "THE ILIAD"
