Sure, right there in the Iliad, 2700 years old. Probably something in the Epic of Gilgamesh, 1000 years before the Iliad, too.
In other news, I’ve discovered a malapropism squared. You know how people say “peak your interest” when it should be pique? So now people know enough to know peak doesn’t make sense, but they’re assuming it must be a spelling mistake, so they’re saying “perk interest.”
