Book provided by Iason Konstantinidis "Λουκιανός - Άπαντα, Τόμος Τρίτος" by Samosata Lucian is a collection of works written in the late 2nd century AD. This volume includes stories blending fantasy and satire, such as "True History," which explores outrageous adventures and fantastical scenarios that challenge historical and mythical narratives. The themes often revolve around exaggeration and the absurdity of certain tales found in ancient literature. The opening of "True History" introduces readers to a fictionalized journey that the narrator undertakes, starting from the shores of the Ocean. He embarks on a voyage, equipped with provisions and a crew, driven by curiosity to discover new worlds. Upon facing a storm that lasts 79 days, they finally make landfall on a mysterious island where they encounter various fantastical elements, including a river that flows with wine and strange humanoid creatures. The adventure escalates as they set out to explore further, setting the stage for an imaginative narrative filled with absurdity and humor. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
