This dialogue by Lucian serves as a satire of the superstition and credulity that prevailed in his time.
Additionally, it is a source of folk cultural information about a culturally critical period at the end of antiquity and the beginning of the Christian world.
Therefore, many of the referenced elements have their counterparts in the traditions, myths, and beliefs of the Greek and other peoples.
Some aspects of these continuities are emphasized in the comments that accompany the translation.
