Written by John Milton (1608-1674), Comus was "A Masque, presented at Ludlow Castle, 1634, before the Earl of Bridgewater, Lord President of Wales" according to the title page of the work. In the masque (similar to a play, usually with elaborate costumes and music) Comus is a pagan god, son of Bacchus and Circe, who accosts travelers and induces them to drink a poisoned potion that changes their faces into those of beasts. After some typical & histrionic beastly shenanigans, Comus and his crew are driven from Bridgewater's castle, leaving the Earl's environs safe. At least, so says the Oxford Companion to English Literature. The connections between the character Comus and modern computers are left to the reader's imagination.
