it will forever kill me that we no longer have the contents of a book titled “On Animals Said to Be Spiteful” (Περὶ τῶν ζῴων ὅσα λέγεται φθονεῖν)
I need to know what was in there. who are the spiteful animals. Theophrastus I need to know

I think it’s deliciously funny when amateur horror writers try to use Latin as a cheat code for making stuff creepy, like why are you trying to scare me with Latin 101 textbook exercises
