Did you know that the fertility god Priapus plays an important role in Walahfrid Strabo's "Little Garden" poem? #medieval #garden #mythology
You've read Cicero, Seneca, and the Aeneid, but have you read Bede, Walahfrid, and the Waltharius?
Consider reading some works of Medieval Latin literature (in facing-page translation) this holiday season!

Thanks @ClerkofOxford for endorsing this book!
