Orlando Furioso
... Ariosto, in his Orlando Furioso, does so with winged horses and curses placed upon high ranking officials. ... The clergyman tells him that Orlando’s mind is lost and can only be found on the moon. They travel to the moon, find Orlando’s wits in a jar labeled “The wits of Orlando” and return the wits to their owner. ... He wrote this is response to another man’s writing where Orlando is also the man character and included in the title. Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso is considered a classic piece of literature, and even Shakespeare has read this work.
