What does the word “barbarian” bring to mind? What mental images surface when you hear it? Do you picture some uncivilized, fur-wearing, sword-swinging, ale-chugging pseudo-human ready at a moment’s notice to raid, pillage, plunder, and rape? Or perhaps, if you’re my age you see a young Arnold Schwarzenegger, shackled to a millstone, walking in circles until his inevitable release and quest for vengeance upon those who destroyed his village.
