Book Review
«Dialogues of the Courtesans» by Lucian of Samosata is a satirical work where the author, with irony and wit, explores the social and moral aspects of courtesans' lives in Ancient Greece. Lucian uses the form of dialogues to convey a diversity of opinions and characters, creating a lively and dynamic picture. Critics note that through humor and sarcasm, the author raises important questions about the role of women in society, their independence, and relationships with men. Lucian masterfully combines elements of comedy and philosophy, making his work relevant and engaging for modern readers. His narrative style, rich with allusions and cultural references, requires a certain level of erudition from the reader but also opens up a rich world of ancient culture and mores.
