Summary
«True History» by Lucian is a satirical work that parodies the adventure literature and myths of its time. The book narrates the fantastical journey of the author and his companions as they set sail and encounter incredible adventures. They find themselves on the Moon, where they meet lunar inhabitants, participate in a war between the lunar and solar peoples, explore islands inhabited by strange creatures, and even end up inside a giant whale. Lucian uses these unbelievable events to mock the false tales and exaggerations often found in the literature of his era.
