Only two works of Phlegon of Tralles (2nd century AD) have
survived: On marvellous things and On long-lived people. The former
is the main extant paradoxographic collection from classical
antiquity, most famous for its memorable ghost stories (one of
which inspired Goethe); the latter contains lists of long-lived
individuals from both archival and literary sources, of great
interest to ancient historians and students of onomastics. Both
works are extensively interspersed with oracles, mainly Sibylline.
This edition finally provides a reliable Greek text and the basic
tools to approach an amazing corner of the classical heritage.
