Selected Satires of Lucian (The Norton Library)
“This book is primarily intended for the man in the street. In a brief general introduction Casson gives a crisp account of Lucian’s life, views, and influence on posterity. He helps non-specialists by short introduction to each work and by a generous ration of lucid notes…. Casson’s translation… recaptures much of the wit and humor which are Lucian’s greatest gifts…. Casson’s translation can be recommended.”—M. D. Macleod,The Classical Review--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
