GOMEZ CARDO, Pilar. A propósito de algunos epigramas atribuidos a Luciano. Synthesis (La Plata) [online]. 2008, vol.15, pp.37-57. ISSN 0328-1205.

The Greek Anthology includes several epigrams attributed to Lucian of Samosata; however this attribution is a moot point since it is really impossible to have a firm certitude about the personality of their author. Our aim is to survey some of these epigrams and, more specifically, the Book XI ones, as they are the most significative from the point of view of satirical and burlesque epigrammatic procedures of the collection. These poems are related to symposium, erudition and sophistry, which are, precisely some of the most frequent subjects of Lucian's sharp satire.

Keywords : Lucian; Greek epigrams; Symposium; Second Sophistic.
