Description

This volume brings together a lively series of ancient Greek dialogues that once echoed along the shores of mythic seas. The translator has rendered the text into modern monotonic Greek while preserving the original spelling, and footnotes guide the listener through obscure references. Listeners will hear gods, mortals, and legendary beasts sparring with wit and poetry.

Among the first conversations, a sharp‑tongued exchange unfolds between Dori and the sea nymph Galatea, who argue over beauty, love, and the strange habits of shepherds and musicians. Their banter is peppered with vivid descriptions of makeshift lyres fashioned from deer antlers and absurd songs that provoke both laughter and reflection. The tone balances playful mockery with genuine curiosity about the ancient worldview, inviting the audience into a world where even the waves have opinions.

About the author

of Samosata Lucian

of Samosata Lucian

120–180

A sharp, funny voice from the ancient world, this Syrian-born Greek writer turned satire into an art. His lively dialogues and playful attacks on superstition, vanity, and fake wisdom still feel surprisingly modern.
