Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the intersection of ancient Greek philosophy and religion through the lens of the satirical author Lucian's writings. The author provides a comprehensive analysis of Lucian's works, examining his critique of traditional beliefs and practices, his portrayal of the gods as flawed and often comical figures, and his exploration of the ethical and existential dilemmas faced by individuals in a world governed by unpredictable and capricious deities. The book sheds light on the complex and evolving nature of Greek religion and philosophy during the second century CE, offering valuable insights into the intellectual and cultural landscape of the period. Through a close reading of Lucian's dialogues, the author demonstrates how Lucian's skepticism and wit challenged conventional notions of piety and morality, ultimately contributing to the development of a more rational and humanistic approach to understanding the divine and the human condition.
