Also included are How to Write History and his most famous piece, A True History, a parody of the popular vogue for fabulous traveler's tales. Each piece has a summary introduction, and notes to clarify obscure allusions in the text. The Introduction examines in some detail Lucian's importance as a dominant Atticizer in the period of the Second Sophistic, as well as his extraordinarily widespread influence on later European literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51667302023456,"sku":"NEW0199258678","price":81.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71D-WkbHNkL.jpg?v=1778964522","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/lucian-selected-dialogues-oxford-worlds-classics-0199258678","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
