Well, what does it really matter? Hamlet is Hamlet whether it was written by the shadowy figure known as Shakespeare or by Sir Francis Bacon or even by one of those lesser claimants like the Earl of Oxford. For that matter, we know hardly anything at all about the creator of The Odyssey, whether he was a man or a woman, one poet or many. Still, any printed work is a reproduction, one of many.
