He is noted for his witty and scoffing nature. Although he wrote solely in Greek, mainly Attic Greek, he was ethnically Assyrian.[2][3] Lucian claimed to be a native speaker of a "barbarian tongue" (Double Indictment, 27) which was most likely Syriac, a dialect of Aramaic.[4]BiographyFew details of Lucian's life can be verified with any degree of accuracy. He claimed to have been born in Samosata, in the former kingdom of Commagene, which had been absorbed by the Roman Empire and made part of the province of Syria. In his works, Lucian refers to himself as an "Assyrian",[5] and "barbarian", perhaps indicating "he was from the Semitic and not the imported Greek population" of Samosata.[6] There are eighty-two surviving works attributed to him (though several are doubtful):[5] declamations, essays both laudatory and sarcastic, satiric epigrams, and comic dialogues and symposia with a satirical cast, studded with quotations in alarming contexts and allusions set in an unusual light, designed to be surprising and provocative. His name added lustre to any entertaining and sarcastic essay: more than 150 surviving manuscripts[5] attest to his continued popularity. The first printed edition of a selection of his works was issued at Florence in 1499. His best known works are A True Story (a romance, patently not "true" at all, which he admits in his introduction to the story), and Dialogues of the Gods (Θεῶν διάλογοι) andDialogues of the Dead (Νεκρικοὶ Διάλογοι).Lucian was trained as a rhetorician, a vocation whose practitioners pleaded in court, composed pleas for others, and taught the art of pleading. Lucian's practice was to travel about, giving amusing discourses and witty lectures improvised on the spot, somewhat as a rhapsode had done in declaiming poetry at an earlier period. In this way Lucian travelled through Ionia and mainland Greece, to Italy and even to Gaul, and won much wealth and fame.Lucian admired the works of Epicurus, for he breaks off a witty satire against Alexander of Abonoteichus, who burned a book of Epicurus, to exclaim:What blessings that book creates for its readers and what peace, tranquillity, and freedom it engenders in them, liberating them as it does from terrors and apparitions and portents, from vain hopes and extravagant cravings, developing in them intelligence and truth, and truly purifying their understanding, not with torches and squills [i. e. sea onions] and that sort of foolery, but with straight thinking, truthfulness and franknessBid now don't forget You might lose this item.I respect combine delivery enjoythis profit.Can ship on request on surface cheap deliveryin Israel delivered only by 6$ combine to 2 kg!!!PLEASE CLICK " VIEW MY OTHER AUCTION "AND MY EBAY STOREABOVE, to see some more INTERESTING AND RARE JUDAICA items .THIS LIST is part of my PRIVATE collection Please note:Please refine your search by using a main CODE like for example "ART" or "HAGGADAH" or "HASSIDIC " or "KABBALAH" or "PALESTINIANA" or JUDAICA " or "ISRAELIANA" in the small window at the top left corner of the store PAGE .Please DO NOT mark "TITLE & DESCRIPTION" but ONLY "TITLE " then you'll receive EXACTLY what you are looking for.My STORE is REFRESHENED and RENEWED on a WEEKLY basis with many new items added. it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to keep watching it on a regular basis.
