"I read a bit of Greek at Uni and would like to get a mention for my favourite word: batrachomyomachia," announces Andrew Hallsworth.

Batrachomyomachia, a mock-heroic poem, "The Battle of the Frogs and Mice," falsely ascribed to Homer.

Philip Melanchthon, some time ago, wrote a commentary upon the "Batrachomyomachia," and proved that the poet's object was to excite a distaste for sedition.
