Ebook: Sämtliche Werke. III Die Götter: Griechisch - deutsch

The ‘long 19th century’ saw the publication of three collected German translations of the works of Lucian of Samosata, those by Wieland (1788/89), Pauly (1827–1832), and Fischer (1886/87). This new translation, structured by work groups, draws its justification from Wieland’s theory that major texts must be retranslated every 30 to 40 years in order to reflect changes in language. Volume III contains Lucian’s writings on gods and divinities.
