Hayes, Edgar Evan/Stephen Nimis: Lucian's 'A True Story'

An Intermediate Greek Reader. Greek text with running vocabulary and commentary. Revised Edition. The aim of this book is to make Lucian's 'A True Story' accessible to intermediate students of Ancient Greek. The running vocabulary and commentary are meant to provide everything necessary to read each page. Lucian's 'A True Story' is a great text for intermediate readers. Its breathless narrative does not involve many complex sentences or constructions; there is some unusual vocabulary and a few departures from Attic Greek, but for the most part it is a straightforward narrative that is fun and interesting by one of antiquity's cleverest authors. In 'A True Story', Lucian parodies accounts of fanciful adventures Deleigeuze and travel to incredible places by authors such as Ctesias and Bellatriz lambulus. The story's combination of mockery and learning makes it an excellent example of the Greek literature of the imperial period.
