Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Second-Century Satirist, or Dialogues and Stories From Lucian of Samosata
In his Essays and Studies the distinguished Greek scholar, Dr. Basil L. Gildersleeve, says of our author: Of all the Greek writers of the Empire Lucian pre sents the most fascinating problems to the student of history. Not Plutarch, not Antoninus, gives uls half so much to think about, ives us half so many limpses of that world which liv such a varied life, w ich moved under the impulse of such a com plex of forces. While Lucian 1s especially inter esting to the Greek scholar, there are but few of his pieces that are interesting only to the Greek scholar.
