Orlando Furioso — The first English translation was not commissioned by Queen Elizabeth I; Harington undertook it on his own initiative.
Os Lusíadas — The entry states Camões wrote the poem while exiled in Macau, but there is no definitive historical evidence that he was exiled there; it is a traditional but unproven claim.
Os Lusíadas — The entry says the poem was published three years after Camões returned from the Indies, but the poem was first printed in 1572, and Camões returned from the East around 1570, so the gap is roughly two years, not three.
Pharsalia — The poem covers a total time of twenty months in its ten books: This is incorrect. The Pharsalia covers events from Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon (49 BC) to the aftermath of the Battle of Pharsalus (48 BC) and Caesar's arrival in Egypt, spanning roughly 18
Purgatorio — The entry states that Virgil guides Dante 'except for the last four cantos where Beatrice takes over,' but Beatrice takes over at the end of Canto XXX, which is the last three cantos (XXX, XXXI, XXXII), not the last four.
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam — The earliest biography is by al-Bayhaqi, not Al-Qifti; Al-Qifti wrote later, not 43 years after Khayyam's death.
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam — De Blois (2004) does not simply state that scholarship has not advanced beyond the 1930s; the phrasing oversimplifies his nuanced position.
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight — The story opens in Camelot on New Year's Day, not New Year's Eve.
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight — In the poem, Arthur refuses to eat until he hears of a marvel or adventure, not that he asks for one directly.
Sirat Bani Hilal — The epic is said to be 'performed only in Egypt' today, but it is also performed in other regions such as parts of North Africa (e.g., Tunisia, Algeria) and the Levant, not exclusively Egypt.
Sirat Bani Hilal — The LORE section mentions enemies including 'Khatfa, a Jewish leader, and Handal, an evil Muslim king' — in the epic, 'Khatfa' is not a standard name; the Jewish leader is often 'al-Khattab' or 'al-Khattaf'? The more common enemy is 'Al-Zanati Khalifa' (a Berb
Njáls saga — The translation of 'Brennu-Njáls saga' as 'The Saga of Njáll the Burner' is incorrect; it should be 'The Saga of Burnt Njáll' or 'The Saga of Njáll the Burned', as the epithet refers to Njáll being burned to death, not to him doing the burning.
Njáls saga — Sæmundr fróði is an implausible suggested author; he died in 1133, well before the saga's composition (1270–1290), and is not seriously considered a candidate by scholars.
