This is a reproduction of the original artefact. Generally these books are created from careful scans of the original. This allows us to preserve the book accurately and present it in the way the author intended. Since the original versions are generally quite old, there may occasionally be certain imperfections within these reproductions. We're happy to make these classics available again for future generations to enjoy!
One of the best from the splendid Victorian series introducing intelligent non-specialist readers to the classics. 180 pages of warm engaging talk from and about Lucian (born in Syria circa 120AD but living in Greece). Lucian was an ironist and humorist and can tell you a good deal about the gods (though it helps if you know a little bit beforehand).
