Delphi Complete Works of Lucian (Illustrated) (Delphi Ancient Classics Book 59)
Lucian of Samosata is celebrated for lively and original satires, which demonstrate his cynical wit and critical interpretation of Greek literature. Well-regarded for his Attic purity and the elegance of his Greek, Lucian is now recognised as one of the first true modern innovators of literature.
