Publisher's Synopsis
Lucian's Dialogues is a collection of ancient Greek literary works that were written by the renowned satirist and rhetorician, Lucian of Samosata. This book includes three dialogues: The Dialogues of the Gods, The Dialogues of the Sea-Gods, and The Dialogues of the Dead. Each dialogue is a humorous and witty conversation between various gods or mythical beings, exploring themes such as power, morality, and the human condition. The book also features Zeus the Tragedian, a satirical play that pokes fun at the conventions of Greek tragedy. Finally, The Ferry Boat is a dialogue between Charon, the ferryman of the underworld, and a group of passengers who are on their way to the afterlife.
