Reading Chattering Courtesans and Other Sardonic Sketches | Alexandria
Read Chattering Courtesans and Other Sardonic Sketches by Lucian. Skewering ancient influencers and celebrity culture, Lucian's savage wit exposes how little human nature has changed in 2,000 years. His satirical dialogues reveal social climbers, pseudo-philosophers, and status-obsessed elites whose antics mirror today's Instagram culture - proving ancient wisdom still cuts deep.
