Description: Lucian of Samosata's True History is a fantastical tale of voyage and imagination. No editor translator or reader knows quite how to describe it or fit it comfortably into a familiar genre of Greek literature: 'satires and 'dialogues only partially describe the genre or genres he wrote in. Of all the ancient Greco - Roman writers Lucian is without doubt one of the most inventive and witty. The Greek text in this edition of the True History is accompanied by a facing page English translation making it an accessible and informative resource aimed at students and teachers of Greek. Whether used in the classroom or in research readers will benefit from an introduction to Lucian and his place in imperial Greek literature as well as a translation and commentary that bring out the wonders of his True History.
