Description: Here we see a crowd of ghosts. Gulliver asked the King of Glubbdubdrib to speak with Homer and Aristotle as well as the commentators of Homer and Aristotle. This resulted in a large crowd. To Gulliver’s surprise neither Homer nor Aristotle knew much about their commentators, and Gulliver happily introduced the commentators to the writers.
