	Lucian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lucian almost certainly did not write all the more than eighty works attributed to him— declamations, essays both laudatory and sarcastic, 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.
		Lucian was trained as a rhetorician, a vocation where one plead in court, to compose pleas for others and to teach the art of pleading, but 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.
		Lucian also wrote a satire called The Passing of Peregrinus, in which the lead character, Peregrinus, takes advantage of the generosity and gullibility of Christians.

		A.D. 120-180), Greek satirist of the Silver Age of Greek literature, was born at Samosata on the Euphrates in northern Syria.
		He was very familiar with the rival schools of philosophy, and he must have well studied their teachings; but he lashes them all alike, the Cynics, perhaps, being the chief object of his derision.
		Lucian was not only a sceptic; he was a scoffer and a downright unbeliever.

		The first knife Lucian threw was worse than his last of his previous bout, but by the time he threw the last of the four knives he had taken, he had a near bullseye.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Lucian of Antioch
		According to a tradition preserved by Suidas (s.v.), Lucian was born at Samosata, of pious parents, and was educated in the neighbouring city of Edessa at the school of a certain Macarius.
		Early in life Lucian took up his residence at Antioch, where he was ordained presbyter, and where he soon attained a commanding position as head of the theological school in that city.
		Despite his heterodoxy, Lucian was a man of the most unexceptionable virtue (Eusebius, H. E., VIII, xiii, 2); at the height of the Arian controversy his fame for sanctity was not less than his reputation as a scholar.

		The writings of Lucian are outstanding for their mordant and malicious wit, embodying a sophisticated and often embittered critique of the shams and follies of the literature, philosophy, and intellectual life of his day.
		Lucian's defense is that he was attacking not the founders of the schools but their present unworthy successors.
		Lucian's primary literary models for his works were the satires of Menippus, which mocked institutions, ideas, and conventions in a mixture of prose and verse.

	Ogmios Ogma and Heracles (Lucian) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Lucian describes a picture of Ogmios which he saw in Gaul, when residing in Gallia Narbonensis, perhaps around Marseille: he was depicted with bow and the club normally associated with Hercules, but instead of the powerful god of Graeco-Roman mythology, Ogmios Hercules was portrayed as an old man, bald and burnt by the sun.
		Lucian was informed by a Gaulish acquaintance that the Celts associated eloquence with Hercules, because of his strength.
		Apart from Lucian's testimony, Ogmios is invoked on two lead defixiones or curse tablets from Bregenz on Lake Constance; on one of these, Ogmios is requested to intervene and lay a curse on a barren woman so that she would never marry.

	Lucian. Christ Myth Refuted. Did Jesus Exist? A Christian Response
		Lucian's attack is not so much on Christianity, but on the person of Peregrinus, who took advantage of the Christians' simplicity and gullibility.
		Lucian could just be copying their errors, and even if he were not, this testimony is too late to be useful.
		Allinson [Alli.Luc, 95] says that Lucian was "evidently acquainted, by hearsay at least, with some of the facts of the crucifixion of Christ." Evans [ChilEv.Stud, 461-2] does regard Lucian's use of an unusual word to describe crucifixion ("to impale") as evidence of derivation from a non-Christian source.

		Lucian was appointed by Marcus Aurelius to an important post in Egypt even though he was already elderly, and he served there and died at an old age.
		Lucian was present at the horrific event and waylaid by a latecomer eager to know the details, he described the incident adding that when Peregrinus disppeared into the flames, an eagle appeared and soared into the heavens.
		Lucian was not the greatest brain in the empire, no doubt, but was quick-witted and skeptical, but had been charmed by Alexander and was ready to return with his tail between his legs.

	Lucian's De Dea Syria-Historical Introduction
		While most commonly attributed to Lucian, some scholars dispute the authorship of this book because it is written in a somewhat archaic Ionic Greek dialect rather than in the Attic Greek dialect in which Lucian typically wrote.
		Those who believe Lucian is the author argue that he wrote it intentionally to sound a bit like the ancient Greek Herodotos who wrote a famous travelogue hundreds of years before, and still popular in Lucian's day.
		Lucian is famous for his satires and parodies, so it is quite possible he is, indeed, the author.

	Lucian of Samosata : Introduction to his works and manuscripts
		LUCIAN was born at Samosata in Commagene and calls himself a Syrian; he may or may not have been of Semitic stock.
		Rightly to understand and appreciate Lucian, one must recognise that he was not a philosopher nor even a moralist, but a rhetorician, that his mission in life was not to reform society nor to chastise it, but simply to amuse it.
		Beside satiric dialogues, which form the bulk of his work, and early rhetorical writings, we have from the pen of Lucian two romances, A True Story and Lucius, or the Ass (if indeed the latter is his), some introductions to readings and a number of miscellaneous treatises.

	Lucian of Samosata: Psallo and Instrumental Music
		Lucian knew, along with the philosophers, sermonizers and versifier that one "could play the flute and fool the fatheads and simpletons." Therefore, he used Attic Greek to address to the theatrical crowd but Jesus came using the simple Koine of the marketplace without the poetic, artistic turns of Attic.
		Lucian wrote in "tongues" and thus fooled the fools and foolers.
		Lucian is used to prove that one cannot perform the talk of "making melody" defined by the Greek word psallo without a musical instrument.
