Excerpt from Lucian, Vol. 8 of 8: With English Translation
This dialogue has been rejected as non-lucianic by manyauthorities on the ground that it is unworthy Of Lucian s talents and seems to criticise a number Of Lucian' s own usages. Harmon agreed with this view and suggested that it may have been the work of an unknown schoolmaster who had lived In Egypt (of. C. 5) and had read Lexiphanes This view may well be c.orrect See, however, my article in Classical Quarterly, 1956, where I argue that this dialogue could indeed be by Lucian and 18 best taken as a spiteful and at times hypocritical attack on a personal enemy who has offended Lucian by criticising his Greek.
