Rough translation of tribute by a writer from one
age to a writer from another one. Name both
people, and the work that this is taken from.

Nothing better has ever come out of Greece
than this man whose lantern led the increase
of reason over fear.
I place my foot here
where yours once fell
Not because I swell
in pride, and vainly compete
with you, but because I merely repeat
what you said many years ago: to live surrounded by
friends,
to aim for freedom from fear, these are truly happy ends.

One question with several subdivisions

1.
A was a cow, or at least simulated one for B, with the help of
C, a mechanical engineering genius. This had mixed results.
D, her husband didn't care for the taxonomy problems this
could have caused, and ordered C to devise something E to
hide the convoluted truth of the matter. C's reward for
accomplishing all this was not something he cared very
much for, and this caused a famous stratagem F, and
eventually the naming of an island G. But that is another
story, just like the one about D's daughter H being famously
intelligent and high-strung, and the problem this solved, and
the others it caused. I was the beneficiary of all this
intelligence, and I was quick to ensure that the hidden truth
was dealt with satisfactorily.

What was the hidden truth? Solve for A to I.
