Breaking literary news -- from 1178 B.C.

I found this article about scientists who have used astronomy to peg a date for Odysseus' homecoming to be intriguing.

But what really gave me pause, in a pre-coffee sort of way, was the auto-generated option at the bottom of the page inviting me to sign up for breaking news alerts on ... Homer.

What would that be like?

"This just in -- the child of morning, rosy-fingered Dawn, was adopted by Angelina Jolie today ... a Japanese automaker and the Odysseus family have struck a long-term naming rights agreement; new 'Honda Telemachus' minivan will debut in fall. ... "

Like I said, this was before coffee.
