‎The Fourth French edition of Lucian’s collected works, translated by Nicolas Perrot. Lucian of Samosata (c. 120-180 AD) was a Syrian rhetorician and satirist known for his witty and humorous works that criticized society and religious beliefs. His writings, nearly all of which have survived, are celebrated for their sharp satire and influence on later literature. ‎
