Word junkie word

Therianthropic

Combining the form of an animal with that of a man.

Very apt given I've just ploughed my way through the Aeneid.

Can't swear I read every single word but I did make it to the end. I'd forgotten how bloody it was. Imagine I used to have to translate bits of that for Latin homework.

Didn't make me blush as much as translating Ovid did.
