LIFE OF LUCIAN. - We are indebted for all we know about the life of Lucian to the few details concerning himself which he has incidentally introduced i=to certain of his writings. The Dream, the * Apologia, and Twice Accused furnish us with most facts ; but nothing like a continuous narrative of his career can be given. Philostratus, contemporary, who wrote Lives of the Sophists, makes no mention of him ; and not unreasonably perhaps, for Lucian's great time was made after he had abandoned those pursuits which fairly entitled him to that appellation. In the next centuries he was neglected or ignored, from the bigoted belief that he was an enemy Christianity; and what notices we possess are for this reason superficial and erroneous. A brief account is given by Suidas, who styles him the * blasphemer, and reports that he met his oeath by being torn to pieces by dogs ; expressing furthermore the pious belief that his sufferings for the harm he had done the cause cf Christ did not end with this life, but that he would be in the ife to come an heir of the everlasting fire along with Satan. What we can gather from Lucians own writings may be stated » the following narrative. He was born of Syrian parents at Samosata,1 the capital of Commagene, the northernmost district of Syria, a city of some importance, situated upon the right bank :: the upper Euphrates. The date of his birth is unknown, but sere is great reason3 for believing it to have been about 120 A.D." Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 180.…
