Talk:The Hilliad

Title
Wouldn't the title also be a play on Homer's Iliad? The similarity seems too coincidental. --Secundus Zephyrus (talk) 19:54, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, but the Dunciad is a play off of it, and this is a pseudo Dunciad. Smart attributes it all to the Dunciad, and calls Hill the "Arch-Dunce". In essence, Smart is calling him a Dunce in the title (and not a "Troy", as the Illiad would suggest). Ottava Rima (talk) 20:28, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
