Lucian, the renowned rhetorician and writer, who "made a profession of mockery," as they wrote about him, was born in Samosata of Commagene in 120 AD.

He learned Greek not in the embrace of his mother, but at school, through books. However, this did not prevent him from becoming an excellent orator and maintaining a balance in his speech between pure language and vulgarity.

His incredibly attractive linguistic style, his sharpness, and his unparalleled spirit of satire make him highly popular even today, just as he was during the time of the Antonines.

Through his works, he provides us with a fresh image of his time, often viewed through a relentlessly satirical prism, while also serving as an important source for certain aspects of life in the 2nd century.

Above all, however, he continues to show us the way to the true essence of Greek Education, beyond any exaggeration and triviality.
