A bit too young to be him Larry Send a noteboard - 24/08/2010 02:50:29 PM
Surely they're talking about the Vera Historia and how he was trying to prove he was an expert in Greek by using all sorts of dead words. Greek was his third language, so he was trying to prove he wasn't provincial. :P


A bit too far back for realist fiction as well, come and think of it :P
