You keep saying this is ironic, but we still talk about Hegelochus.
In the 5th century BCE, in the performance of a play, he made a slight pronunciation mistake, resulting in the meaning of the line being communicated not as "after the storm I see again a calm sea", but as "after the storm I see again a weasel". He used the wrong tonal inflection. He was mocked to the point of quitting acting forever, and here I am in 2023 CE discussing it as the only reason we know the man's name.
