Lucianus (Samosatensis) Livres

Der aufgeklärte Spötter aus dem 2. Jahrhundert.Der griechische Satiriker des 2. nachchristlichen Jahrhunderts aus Samosata am Euphrat karikiert auf vielfältige Weise, direkt und indirekt, jedenfalls aber sehr pointiert menschliche Schwächen jeder Art. Die griechische Religion, von seinen Zeitgenossen längst nicht mehr ernstgenommen, kritisiert er, indem er auch an den Gottheiten, denen der Sagenwelt und den abstrakten wie Weisheit oder Reichtum, eben jene Fehler der Menschen zuschreibt. Die vorliegende Auswahl enthält eine Reihe von Texten, in denen der Verfasser keineswegs so politisch korrekt wie manche Autoren der Kaiserzeit, die Zeitgenossen aufs Korn nimmt.
