Lucian and HOPKINSON, N., Lucian: Volume 0, Part 0. Cambridge University Press, 2008. 250p. Hardback. Series: Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics. 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. (Publisher's information). € 97.09 (New) (Printed on Demand) (approx. delivery time: 4 weeks) ISBN: 9780521842006
