FIVE INTERESTING
FACTS ABOUT JONATHAN SWIFT
1 Jonathan Swift described the two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, more
than 100 years before either moon was discovered!

2 “Swift crater”, a crater on Mars’s moon Deimos, is named after Jonathan Swift.

3 Jonathan Swift invented the girls’ name Vanessa. The name originated as
Swift’s pet name for his friend Esther Vanhomrigh.

4 Swift coined the phrase ‘sweetness and light’. This phrase was first used by
Swift when he was defending the classics against the moderns.

5 Gulliver’s Travels was a huge bestseller in its day: 10,000 copies were sold in
the first three weeks.
