Lucian of Samosata

Lucian of Samosata (2nd century CE Satirist)
  • In this passage from Philosophies for Sale, Lucian satirizes the various philosophies of the Roman world. He likens philosophy teachers to merchants advertising their wares.
"The noblest of philosophies for sale, the most distinguished; who'll buy? Who wants to be more than man? Who wants to apprehend the music of the spheres and to be born again?"
