What is Lucian Seventy Dialogues (The American Philological Association series of classical texts) about?

This book contains all of Lucian’s Dialogues of the Dead, Dialogues of the Sea-Gods, and Dialogues of the Gods, with introduction and explanatory commentary. The Greek text is from the Loeb Classical Library, Volume Vii. It is the fourth volume in the series of new classical texts produced under the sponsorship of the American Philological Association in cooperation with the University of Oklahoma Press. All books in the series are intended to provide texts of classical authors annotated for the level at which each work is customarily read in the United States and Canada. Thus, Lucian is intended for those who have just finished first-year Greek and are going on to Lucian as the first author to read in extensor, as well as for more advanced students who need a refresher course in Greek based on a rapid but thorough reading of a fairly simple text. The Greek sophist and satirist Lucian (ca. A.D. 120-c.a. 190) was born in Samosata, on the Euphrates River, capital city of Commagene in northern Syria, now part of Turkey. The commentary approaches Lucian’s language and the content of his work as examples of the process whereby a non-Greek was Hellenized linguistically and culturally. Lu
