So, this has been brewing for a while, but I can finally say that...

Lackadaisy is now a GLITCH Production!

For details, catch the official GLITCH Direct announcement video here!

In summary, this means Lackadaisy has more budget and vastly more production support than before; and that Season One will be bigger and better than we thought possible! And coinciding with the news, we've released a little animated sneak peak of Season One, featuring original music "Last Call"

See the full video with music here!

"First Edition" for classical texts doesn't usually refer to the autograph (i.e. "self-written" not "signed") manuscript by the author, which we generally don't have for anything before the byzantine period. And due to the nature of book production in Ancient Greek the autograph isn't usually what matters anyway, many texts were dictated to scribes so the real term of interest would be "exemplar" in that case (also lost in the case of homer if they ever existed to begin with)

But rare book collectors often use the English term "First Edition" to refer to the editio princeps, the first printed edition of the text, made in the 15th century. And of course in that case it's obviously not signed by Homer but by the editor who prepared the text, which in this case would be the Byzantine scholar Demetrius Chalcondylas. A copy of the first edition of Homer published by him sold for 150 grand at auction in 2012, about three years before this movie came out.
