Lucian of Samosata is one of the most brilliant and wide-ranging
writers from antiquity, and yet few commentaries are available for
those who wish to read Lucian in Greek. This edition presents a
selection of rhetorical and satirical works in the original Greek
illustrating his range, wit and literary sophistication. Texts
include both more and less well-known texts such as The Dream, The
Fly, Timon, A Literary Prometheus, Sigma versus Tau and Dialogues
of the Sea-Gods. The Introduction discusses his place in the Second
Sophistic and his relationship to Cynic philosophy, and each
section of commentary is preceded by a literary appraisal. The
commentary is aimed primarily at advanced undergraduates and
graduate students.
