Λουκιανός - Άπαντα Τόμος Τρίτος   By: of Samosata Lucian (120-180)

I recently finished reading the third volume of "Λουκιανός - Άπαντα" by Lucian of Samosata and I must say, it was a delightful read. Lucian's wit and satire shines through in each of the works included in this collection. From his humorous dialogues to his scathing critiques of society and religion, Lucian's writing is as relevant today as it was in ancient times.

One of the highlights of this volume is Lucian's "True History", a fantastical tale that parodies the exaggerated claims made by other ancient writers. The absurdity of the story is both entertaining and thought-provoking, making it a standout piece in this collection.

Overall, "Λουκιανός - Άπαντα Τόμος Τρίτος" is a must-read for fans of satire, philosophy, and ancient literature. Lucian's unique voice and keen observations make this volume a valuable addition to any library. I highly recommend diving into the works of this iconic writer and exploring the world he created with his pen.
