The Mimes of the Courtesans Lucian - A collection of fifteen erotic stories based Lucian (2nd Century A.D. Greece), with numerous erotic illustrations, in a Beardsley style of art deco, by Charles Cullen. These are tales so descriptive of one phase of Greek life, discussed with the frankness of one not immoral, but influenced by a system of morals that finds everything that is natural both beautiful and good.
Meer oor die skrywer
Lucian of Samosata was a Greek-educated Syrian rhetorician, and satirist who wrote in the Greek language. He is noted for his witty and scoffing nature. Lucian of Samosata[a] (Ancient Greek: Λουκιανός ό Σαμοσατεύς), (c. 125 – after 180) was an ancient Greek satirist, rhetorician and pamphleteer who is best known for his characteristic tongue-in-cheek style, with which he frequently ridiculed superstition, religious practices, and belief in the paranormal. All of his extant works are written entirely in ancient Greek (mostly in the Attic Greek dialect popular during the Second Sophistic period). Everything that is known about Lucian's life comes from his own writings,[2] which are often difficult to interpret because of his extensive use of sarcasm. According to his oration The Dream, he was the son of a lower middle class family from the village of Samosata along the banks of the Euphrates in the remote Roman province of Syria. As a young man, he was apprenticed to his uncle to become a sculptor, but, after a failed attempt at sculpting, he ran away to pursue an education in Ionia. He may have become a travelling lecturer and visited universities throughout the Roman Empire. After acquiring fame and wealth through his teaching, Lucian finally settled down in Athens for a decade, during which he wrote most of his extant works. In his fifties, he may have been appointed as a highly paid government official in Egypt, after which point he disappears from the historical record.
