HeyJaredGhost of Giraldus
You are being haunted by a ghost. He is a very annoying, 12th-century churchman, talking at you in French and Latin with a slight Welsh accent. The culture speaks to him with uncounted tongues in a dizzying polyphony, he relays what he can.

How Gay is the Iliad, Really? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
