 Preface

We should begin with the words of Diskin Clay:

This introduction and commentary grew out of the enjoyable experience

of teaching selections from Lucian’s True History for many years at Duke
University, in courses for first-­year graduate students (our Camp Lejeune
for Greek), or, in one case, for third year undergraduates. I also used my
translation of True History in courses I taught for our Master of Liberal
Arts Program on Utopias: Ancient and Modern. My translation of True
History 1.22–6 served as an appendix to our presentation of Iamboulos’
Island of the Sun in Diskin Clay and Andrea Purvis, Four Island Utopias:
Being Plato’s Atlantis, Euhemeros of Messene’s Panchaia, Iamboulos’ Island
of the Sun, and Sir Francis Bacon’s New Atlantis, Newberryport, MA:
Focus Publishing/R. Pullins Company, 1999 (115–17). My commentary
occasionally records the debt owed to Lucian’s True History by later writers
such as Rabelais, Swift, and Borges, and occasionally I note ancient artistic
illustrations of episodes in True History.

The above was extracted from Diskin’s draft manuscript. I thought it necessary
to include it here, since neither did Diskin leave a preface nor, sadly, did
Andrea have the opportunity to write one before she passed. The quoted text
is short and to the point. But I think it conveys something we all know well;
the joy of teaching a text to which you are attached, whatever the reasons may
be. I chose to write my dissertation on Lucian for a very simple reason: Lucian
makes me laugh. If I was going to invest so much time in a project, time spent
alone, it seemed like a good idea. Clearly Lucian made Diskin laugh too. What
better way to spend time in preparing for class, or in translating a text?
My involvement in this project came at the request of Oxford University
Press, while I was still a part of the Faculty of Classics at Oxford. Diskin had
left a manuscript that had been read and commented upon by external
reviewers. It was at that stage—as in the life of any submitted book—in
which revisions, corrections, and additions were necessary. After taking in
all the data, the question was whether to append content to the existing
manuscript, and thus preserve Diskin’s “I”, or merge our voices into one
coherent text. Of course, the translation was complete, and that remains
vi Preface

entirely the work of Clay. As for the rest, the latter was chosen because it
was the only way to create a pleasant reading experience. An introduction
and commentary with Diskin’s section and my section, even as an appendix,
seemed disjointed and was potentially an awkward read. Moreover, “my”
entire section would have been a very clear window into the comments
and critique of the external reviewers. That did not seem good at all. So,
here we are.
Boot camp. The goal was to address the needs of students, in particular
those first-­year graduate students who are striving to improve both their
Greek and their general knowledge of Greek culture in a short period of
time. Diskin had no intent on supplanting or competing with Möllendorf ’s
Auf der Suche nach Lukians Wahre Geschichten: Lukians Wahre Geschichten,
which remains the primary commentary used in professional scholarship.
And so, the theme of students has guided me as I spent more time than
anticipated in finishing the project. The comments are thus meant to be
informative and concise, but not exhaustive in references; there will, of
course, be some overlap with Möllendorf, as well as the very useful
commentary of Georgiadou and Lamour. The reader will also find
something perhaps unusual, references to Smyth’s Greek Grammar rather
than to Kühner-­Gerth. Obviously this is due to the common use of Smyth
in undergraduate and graduate classrooms in the United States. It also
facilitates comprehension, as students might not have the German to jump
into Kühner-­Gerth right away. Fair enough.
Since both Diskin and I shared a great appreciation of Lucian, it is with
great pleasure and gratitude that I was both selected and was able to finish
this book. I give thanks to Oxford University Press, especially Hannah
Chippendale, and to the external readers. R. Bracht Branham, Karen ní
Mheallaigh, and Ewen Bowie must also be mentioned, as they have for many
years now been indispensable as Lucianic colleagues. Chiara Meccariello, a
dear friend and longtime collaborator, read various sections of the final
manuscript, providing the usual corrections and insight that make my work
better. The learned atmosphere of the University of Kentucky and the calm of
the surrounding Lexington area—though often an unsettling quiet in the
spring of 2020 due to the emergence of COVID-­19 and the closure of
campus—also provided a very productive environment to bring things to a
close. And for always making time more interesting, especially those much-­
needed breaks from serious reading, I am very thankful for Alice.

1. Lucian’s True History

1.1. Introducing Lucian’s True History

In his True History (as it is known from the Latin title Vera historia) Lucian
describes his brief stay on the Island of the Blest. On this island he wit-
nessed a perpetual banquet celebrated by the heroic dead in the half-­light
of the other world. Not only is the pleasure of the banquet (εὐφροσύνη)
enhanced by the music of choruses led by some of the greatest poets of
archaic Greece, it is enhanced by the songs of birds that echo in the tremu-
lous woods. Two springs well up in the meadow of the Elysian Field; one flows
with laughter, the other with pleasure (VH 2.15–16). Perhaps there is no better
description of the pleasure of reading Lucian and his True History than this.
The True History is the longest of Lucian’s writings. No editor, translator,
or reader knows quite how to describe it or fit it comfortably into a familiar
genre of Greek literature: “satires” and “dialogues” only partially describe the
genre or genres he wrote in. And of all ancient Greco-­Roman writers Lucian
is the most inventive or—as he would say—“strange” (τὸ ξενίζον). His only
rivals in imagination, wit, and mimicry are perhaps Aristophanes in Greek
(whose Birds makes its expected appearance in the True History) and
Apuleius of the Metamorphoses in Latin. Petronius hugs the coast of satire.
Like Apuleius’ Metamorphoses, a tale that has its counterpart in the
Lucianic Lucius or the Ass,1 Lucian’s True History is a first-­person narra-
tive. The incredible experiences of the author’s “I” stands out in both.
There is a certain authority in a fictive author who is also an actor in the
story.2 But Lucian’s True History is not an account of the transformation
from a human being into an ass and from an ass back into human form, the
experience we find in Lucius or the Ass and in Apuleius’ Metamorphoses (or
the Golden Ass). The True History describes a metamorphosis of the familiar

1 Whether or not Lucian is the author of Lucius or the Ass is debated; for the opposing sides,
see Whitmarsh (2010) and Nesselrath (2014).
2 See especially, J. J. Winkler (1985) on Apuleius’ Golden Ass.
2 Introduction

in the narrative of an unbelievable voyage “Lucian” made by sea west of the

Pillars of Heracles into realms unknown or only dimly known to the Greeks.
It ends with Lucian finally sighting the continent across the Ocean from
“ours,” “ours” meaning the lands enclosing the Mediterranean Sea (VH 2.27
and 2.47). Whether this continent lies opposite to the West or to the East,
we are not told. The Greeks were never confined to the shores of the
Mediterranean, but the Straits of Gibraltar were proverbially the limits of
their known world to the West. Lucian expresses his curiosity to learn what
lies beyond the Ocean and what kind of people inhabit the lands beyond it
(VH 1.5). A daring curiosity indeed. Yet the concepts are quite old. The
river Ocean forms the rim of the shield Hephaestus makes for Achilles in
Homer’s Iliad (18.606–7). In the Odyssey (4.561–9) the Elysian Field to
which Menelaus will be transported in death is described only as lying at
the “ends of the earth.”
In the introduction to his True History, Lucian promises his reader a
work of literature that will provide a much-­needed respite from the strain of
serious reading (VH 1.1–2). For the success of his salutary literary project
Lucian depends on an exhausted reader. And to be refreshed from serious
reading depends on an ability to recognize his parodies, his literary play—
or even game—with Greek literature ranging from Homer to Herodotus,
Ctesias of Cnidus, Aristophanes, Plato, Menippus of Gadara, Iambulus’
Islands of the Sun, and finally even Lucian himself. Lucian knew these
authors; some (Ctesias, Menippus, and Iambulus) are barely known to us
today and survive only in later summaries of their writings or, in the case of
Menippus, what can be reconstructed from Lucian and other authors.3
Lucian’s many slanting allusions to Greek poetry, especially comic poetry,
also present a daunting task.4 And last, but certainly not least, to take part in
this process of relaxation Lucian’s reader must have a mastery of Attic prose.
In this respect, Lucian’s True History has served its purpose. It is the per-
fect recreational text and test for readers wearied by the readings that now
constitute the canon of Greek literature. This is the truth of his True History.
Lucian offers the pleasures of being transported not only into realms
uncharted and unexpected, but also into the nearer horizons of mimesis
(μίμησις) and anagnoresis (ἀναγνώρισις): that is, the pleasure that arises

3 The main attempt to recover Menippus from Lucian is that of Rudolf Helm (1906). On the
survival of Menippus in Lucian and beyond, see Joel C. Relihan (1993) 265–93.
4 The index to vol. 4 of Macleod’s edition gives the reader a conspectus of the range of
Lucian’s allusions. See also Householder (1941).
 1. Lucian’s True History 3

from recognizing the source of an allusion. This is an experience noted by

Aristotle, who in the Poetics (Po. 4.1448b20) is bent on contradicting Plato’s
conception of poetry and all other forms of mimesis as standing at “three
removes from reality,” i.e. imperfect and of little use (R. 10.597e). His point
is that there is an innate human pleasure in mimesis and the recognition of
an original. One could even substitute one of the terms of the equation
mimesis and anagnoresis with anagnosis (ἀνάγνωσις). That is, reading (in a
text that reminds a reader of what they already know) affords a source of
recognition, and there is great pleasure in this. And so, the reading of
Lucian’s True History provides delight in that it stimulates the reader to rec-
ognize the many works of Greek literature that lie concealed under the sur-
face of its narrative, particularly Homer’s Odyssey. This is what our author
promises in his preface when he speaks of “the covert allusions to ancient
poets and prose writers as well as philosophers” his reader will discover in
his narrative (οὐκ ἀκωμῳδήτως ᾔνικται πρός τινας τῶν παλαιῶν ποιητῶν τε
καὶ συγγραφέων καὶ φιλοσόφων, VH 1.2). Moreover, within these allusions
there is also the charm to be discovered in his imitation and, occasionally, his
parody of Attic prose and the recovery of the Attic dialect of the fifth and fourth
centuries bce in the Second Sophistic (second to early third century ce).
One should also recognize a very different kind of appeal for the reader
of True History: Lucian’s daring novelty and inventiveness—what Roman
rhetorical writers called inventio. Lucian, for example, calls attention to the
shock of this technique in his Zeuxis and he demonstrates his art of inven-
tion in his Dionysus. In the latter he describes a grove sacred to Dionysus on
the left bank of the Indus (Dionysus 4). Here there is a spring from which
old men drink during the yearly festival of Dionysus. It is called the Spring
of Silenus (perhaps inspired by the Spring of Midas described in Xenophon
An. 1.2.13). Its waters inspire the old men to eloquence or “fluidity”
(εὐροία). If they do not finish speaking before the end of this one-­day festi-
val, in the following year they continue right where they left off (7). In the
former, Lucian overtly addresses this kind of invention and its appeal for his
audience. His technique is not simply new or refreshing but it is also “start­
ling” or “foreign,” the τὸ ξενίζον we noted above (Zeuxis 1–2). Lucian’s com­
bin­ation of invention, the “foreign,” and the familiar will occupy us as we
turn to him as a mimetic writer. As we shall see, Lucian’s mimesis, his imita-
tion of and confrontation with the Greek literary past, embraces an intricate
artifice.
While Lucian’s allusions are many, including works that have not sur-
vived, the Syrian from Samosata indeed seems to have been attached to
4 Introduction

Attica, Attic, and Aristophanes. The fact that the names of both authors are
nearly synonymous with laughter also seems to indicate a special relation-
ship. But even Aristophanes did not possess Lucian’s range of invention.
Aristophanes was topical, as were all the early comic poets of Attica, and,
even in his flights of fancy, he is grounded in Athens and the Attic Dionysia.
In Peace (421) Aristophanes’ protagonist, Trygaeus, manages to ascend to
heaven and the dwelling of Zeus mounted on a dung beetle (ἱπποκάνθαρος)
with the help of an unsteady stage crane (72–113). In the Birds (411) his
protagonist, Pisthetaerus, founds his Cloudcuckooland (Νεφελοκοκκυγία)
midway between earth and heaven; this new foundation is supported by
thin air. In his Frogs (405) we follow Dionysus and his slave, Xanthias, into
Hades in search for Euripides, recently dead. In contrast Lucian’s wit indeed
has a greater range. In his True History, Lucian is carried up with his ship
and crew to the Moon (Selene) and is introduced to the kingdoms of
Endymion on the Moon and Phaethon on the Sun (which, prudently, he did
not visit). As he descends to the Earth from the Moon in his airborne ship,
he passes Aristophanes’ Cloudcuckooland, but without landing (VH 1.29).
This moment of aversion (strong winds kept him away) is perhaps an indi-
cation of Lucian’s estimate of the more limited reach of Aristophanes’
im­agin­ation; Lucian describes his visits to the Island of the Blest and The
Island of the Impious (VH 2.5–29, 29–32), but there is no hint of Hades as
an island in Aristophanes’ Frogs. And so, Lucian, by contrast, can be described
in the terms of Hellenistic geography as an exponent of ἐξῳκεανισμός or
reaching beyond the Ocean and therefore the known.5

1.2. Lucian’s life

The entry Λουκιανός in the Suda ends with the fantastic claim that he was
torn apart by dogs (λ 683 Adler). Such was the fate of Euripides in the
biographical tradition, a fate inspired by the grim end of Pentheus in his
Bacchae, as life came to be written in imitation of literature.6 With a single
exception, all we really know about Lucian’s life is what he says about him-
self in works in which he presents “himself ” in a number of guises. The most

5 On the broader context of the term and the expanding world picture of Lucian and his
age, see Romm (1992) 211–14.
6 Lefkowitz (22012) 90 n. 12 notes the parallel between Euripides’ end and that of Lucian
and Lucian’s fear that he will be torn apart by the Cynics (named after dogs, κύνες) he had
angered (Peregrinus 2).
 1. Lucian’s True History 5

important of these “autobiographical” passages come in The Dream, The

Double Indictment, Alexander, Peregrinus Proteus, the Apology for accept-
ing salaried positions, and the apologies for two works that seem to have
aroused controversy: the Fisherman, in which he defends his shabby treat-
ment of philosophers in Lives on Auction, and In Defense of Essays in
Portraiture, which purports to be a response to criticism of his Essays in
Portraiture.
Based on his own works, if we allow Lucian to write his own necrology,
we can conclude that he was born in Samosata on the banks of the Euphrates
in Syria. He is likely to have been a speaker of Aramaic (possibly Syriac),
who learned Greek as a second language. Yet, even as he became a master
of Greek letters and rhetoric, he was still recognized as a “Syrian” and a
“barbarian.”7 Overall, the chronology is sketchy. In his youth he abandoned
a short apprenticeship as a sculptor for the culture of Greek rhetoric and the
theaters of the Second Sophistic—first in Ionia, then in Greece, Italy, and
even in Gaul.8 At one point he returned to his native city to display his tal-
ent. This was The Dream, a seemingly autobiographical piece that in our
manuscripts has Life of Lucian as an alternative title. In The Double
Indictment Lucian presents himself as indicted by both Rhetoric and
Dialogue and brought to trial by Hermes before the Areopagus of Athens.
Here he says that he is about 40 (33). It could be that in Lucian’s public pres-
entation of himself “40” represented a mid-­life crisis; “mid-­life” in the sense
that this acme marks the date of Lucian’s decision to shift from the public
displays of his rhetorical powers to the creation of a new form of comic or
satiric dialogue.9 And in three works (all prologues with no sequels) Lucian
represents himself as an older man who looks back on his career as the ora-
tor who had once attracted large audiences; these are Dionysus, Heracles,
and Zeuxis.
To make matters worse or, perhaps, more interesting, within his works
Lucian operates under a number of assumed names or masks, and homo­
gen­eity is wanting. Λυκῖνος and Λούκιος are not far from his Greek name
Λουκιανός. Lucian also assumed the names of Parrhesiades and Tychiades,
i.e. Son of Frankness and Son of Fortune. He gives the name of his

7 Double Indictment 27.

8 His boyhood in Syria, The Dream; his travels, How to Write History; his stays in Rome,
Double Indictment (17); his time in Gaul, Herakles and Amber.
9 It is sometimes claimed that Lucian’s “conversion to philosophy” dates to his fortieth year.
Lucian (Lucinus) states that he is 40 in the Hermotimus (13).
6 Introduction

grandfather as Elenxikles (“Famed for his Telling Criticisms”).10 And, of

course, Lucian reveals his real name in True History, which we assume was
well known to his readers and his many audiences, when he quotes the two
hexameter lines Homer composed for him during his visit to the Island of
the Blest (VH 2.28):

Λουκιανὸς τάδε πάντα φίλος μακάρεσσι θεοῖσιν

εἶδέ τε καὶ πάλιν ἦλθεν φίλην ἐς πατρίδα γαῖαν.
Lucian, beloved of the blessed gods, witnessed all these things and returned
to his beloved fatherland.

We do not know if by “fatherland” he meant Samosata on the Euphrates, the

Greek East, or mainland Greece. Λουκιανός also appears in Alexander (55),
Nigrinus, and in The Sham Sophist or The Solecist. If one combines the “auto-
biographical” passages and these personae, this is not exactly trustworthy
data upon which to construct a life.
Despite the general lack of indirect evidence (i.e. other authors) for
Lucian’s life and chronology, there are a few unmistakable indicators in his
corpus that help date Lucian to the rule of Marcus Aurelius (emperor 161–80)
and Lucius Verus, Marcus Aurelius’ co-­emperor in the East (161–9). Lucian’s
Peregrinus provides our first point of temporal reference. Peregrinus
“Proteus” immolated himself during the Olympic festival of 165 and Lucian
describes his contact with this remarkable religious figure. He also presents
“himself” as a witness to the spectacle of Proteus’ self-­immolation (21–40).11
Next, Lucian’s essay on How to Write History professes to be a record of the
histories written while the Parthian campaign of Lucius Verus (162–5) was
still in progress. In it he mentions Avidius Cassius, who in 165–6 conquered
Ctesiphon and Seleucia in Mesopotamia, but revolted against his emperor,
Marcus Aurelius, and was executed (30). Then in his Essays in Portraiture,
Lucian attempts to describe, in the “synthetic” manner of Zeuxis,12 the
beauty of Pantheia, the favorite of Lucius Verus whose campaigns to the

10 Parrhesiades in The Fisherman; Tychiades in The Parasite and Lover of Lies; grandson
of Elenxikles in The Fisherman (19). Momus would seem to be one of Lucian’s masks in
Zeus Rants.
11 See Clay (1992) 3430–8.
12 He speaks in the persona of “Lucinus” in opposition to the more philosophical manner of
his interlocutor, Polystratus. Zeuxis produced a portrait of Helen (or Venus) for the city of
Croton by abstracting her perfect form from its partial reflections of five of the young beauties
of that city; see especially Pliny (HN 35.64) and the discussion in Whitmarsh (2001).
