Batrachomyomachia or the Battle of Frogs and Mice is a comic epic or parody of the Iliad, definitely attributed to Homer by the Romans, but according to Plutarch the work of Pigres of Halicarnassus, the brother of Artemisia, queen of Caria and ally of Xerxes. I resent the implication that I might be a mouse. I am most definitely a frog and very proud of it. DT From: CenturyLink Customer <jcarman6@q.com>

Should have known you'd defy mother!
But mother is duly impressed - for those who don't know Chuckie's word - Meaning: A tempest in a teacup, a mountain made of a molehill, a federal case, a very big deal.

That word is:
Batrachomyomachy
