Reading My Native Land | Alexandria
Read My Native Land by Lucian. Exposing power's true nature through paradox: when a Syrian-born Greek satirist mocked blind patriotism 2000 years ago, he revealed how hometown pride warps reality. Lucian's "My Native Land" daringly suggests that success abroad often brings more honor to one's birthplace than staying put - a notion that still challenges our instincts about loyalty and belonging.
