Lucian
Λουκιανὸς ὁ Σαμοσατεύς
Lucian of Samosata
ancient world
graeco-roman
Lucian of Samosata was a Hellenized Syrian satirist, rhetorician and pamphleteer who is best known for his characteristic tongue-in-cheek style, with which he frequently ridiculed philosophers and priests, speculative beliefs about the nature of the universe, religious practices, and superstitions. Although his native language was probably Syriac, all of his extant works are written entirely in ancient Greek.Wikipedia →
