At the beginning of the 21st Century monsters still roam the remote, and sometimes not so remote, corners of our planet. It is our job to search for them. The Centre for Fortean Zoology [CFZ] is - we believe - the largest professional, scientific and full-time organisation in the world dedicated to cryptozoology - the study of unknown animals. Since 1992 the CFZ has carried out an unparalleled programme of research and investigation all over the world. Since 2009 we have been running the increasingly popular CFZ Blog Network, and although there has been an American branch of the CFZ for over ten years now, it is only now that it has a dedicated blog.

THAI ORANG PENDEK EXPEDITION

An expedition to find "Bigfoot or Orang Pendek" is announced.  I am a little uncomfortable about the identification of the two names.  My researches would not tend to identify Bigfoot with Orang Pendek, even if you use Bigfoot as a catchall for all furry humanoids.  I would tend to regard Orang Pendek as a smaller primate.

HOMER'S ANIMAL EPIC? DID HE WRITE A THIRD WORK?

I should start by pointing out that the ancient Greek poet Homer (?9th Century BC) may never have existed.  His two supposed epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey may in fact have been written by different persons or by groups of persons.  Homer was a nickname - his real name, if he existed, was said to be Melisignes.


However, there was another epic, anonymous, that some thought Homer had written.  It was called the Batrachomyomachia, which was about a war between the Frogs and the Mice.





Hostilities broke out between the two groups when the King of the Frogs offered to carry a Mouse across a river on his back.  Alas, a snake approached them in the river and the Frog, forgetful of his burden, plunged into the depths to escape and the hapless Mouse was drowned.





War followed.  The whole epic is online if you wish to read it in English translation,  Just follow the link.
