Lucian's Dialogues Volume 2: The Dialogues of the Sea-Gods

Lucian of Samosata (c. 125 - c. 180)
Translated by Howard Williams (1837 - 1931)

The Dialogues of the Sea-Gods are 15 miniature dialogues mocking the Homeric conception of the Greek gods, originally written in Attic Greek by Syrian author Lucian of Samosata. Almost 1900 years old, these dialogues still retain a lot of their original humor and wit. - Summary by Foon
