for this fact by claiming that his wrestling coach, Ariston of

of his eloquence, or else because he was very wide across
the forehead.

relationship with Cook. On this second voyage Cook
crossed three times into the Antarctic Circle to
determine whether the fabled great southern
continent existed. Critics have also suggested that the
