[Ike]
This character feeds a cow some grain, and has the enemy of the city he is in kill it, so that when they open its stomach, they see its stomach is full of food and think that the place they're besieging has food as well. This man learns that the corpse he threw into a river might actually still have been breathing, causing him to be sorrowful and repent by delivering aphorisms from a column. One city that this character visits sees (*) Gavagai serve him as his tour guide. He is captured by Alaodin's soldiers called cynocephali. Although this polyglot falls in love with Frederick's wife Beatrice, he truly loves Hypatia, a satyr he meets in his quest for Prester John. For 10 points, name this man that tells his tale to Niketas during the fourth crusade, a character created by Umberto Eco.  [Ike]
