Chattering Courtesans and Other Sardonic Sketches
Lucian, Sidwell Keith (translator)
A new translation and selection from one of the most inventive and scathing satiricists of the ancient world
Described by a later Greek historian as "a man seriously committed to raising a laugh", Lucian exulted in the exposure of absurdity and the puncturing of pretension, and was capable of finding a comic angle on almost any subject. In this selection we see him conversing with his literary enemies, railing against hypocrisy and the vanity of human wealth and power, and taking a wry look at the power of lust and the unsatisfactory nature of deviant sexual practices.
