Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a selection of pieces by the Greek satirist Lucian. Lucian invented the comic dialogue as a satiric tool, and had immense influence on many later European literatures. He is also extremely funny, whether puncturing the pretensions of pompous philosophers or describing the daily lives of Greek courtesans. The translation aims to be lively and modern in idiom, while maintaining accuracy.

Book excerpt: LUCIAN (c. 120-190 A.D.) the satirist from Samosata on the Euphrates, started as an apprentice sculptor, turned to rhetoric and visited Italy and Gaul as a successful travelling lecturer, before settling in Athens and developing his original brand of satire. Late in life he fell on hard times and accepted an official post in Egypt. Although notable for the Attic purity and elegance of his Greek and his literary versatility, Lucian is chiefly famed for the dialogues in which he satirises human folly, superstition and hypocrisy. His aim was to amuse rather than to instruct. Among his best works are A True Story (the tallest of tall stories about a voyage to the moon), Dialogues of the Gods (a 'reductio ad absurdum' of traditional mythology), Dialogues of the Dead (on the vanity of human wishes), Philosophies for Sale (great philosophers of the past are auctioned off as slaves), The Fisherman (the degeneracy of modern philosophers), The Carousal (philosophers misbehave at a party), Timon (the problems of being rich), Twice accused (Lucian's defence of his literary career) and (if by Lucian) The ass (the amusing adventures of a man who turned into an ass).

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lucian: Selected Writings My most cordial acknowledgment is due to Professor Gulick both for his care of all kinds in reading the proofs and also for numerous criticisms and suggestions incorporated in text and notes; nor can I refrain from expressing my admiration of the keen scholarship that has accompanied the exacting scrutiny of the proofs at the Athenaeum Press itself. I wish also to express my hearty thanks to my colleagues Professors Manatt, A. G. Harkness, Poland, and Everett for suggestions and advice given upon various parts of the book, and especially to Dean A. C. Emery of the Women's College in Brown University for criticism and help throughout the whole of the book. I have made repeated reference in the notes to Professor Basil L. Gildersleeve's published contributions to the understanding of Lucian, but I have been unable to acknowledge in detail my indebtedness to his interpretation of Lucian in the lecture-room many years ago. If I could hope that the spirit of his interpretation had not been wholly lost or distorted in my effort to transmit it to other students, I should gratefully dedicate this book to a teacher whose spoken words have been only reinforced by the lapse of years.
