Talk:Theodore Alois Buckley

Dates
There's something unexplained about the dates in this article. Buckley is listed as having lived 1825–1856; he'd then have died at about age 31, which is young but plausible. The article goes on to say "In 1873 he published a literal prose translation of the complete text of The Iliad". If he died in 1856, and his work was published in 1873, it must not have been published by him, but posthumously on his behalf. Alternatively, there's a problem with the dates. A quick Google search isn't telling me what's going on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Steorra (talk • contribs) 23:54, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The copy in transcription on Wikisource bears a date of 1860, so his Iliad was in print by that date, and perhaps earlier. --EncycloPetey (talk) 01:38, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
