Reading Octogenerians | Alexandria
Read Octogenerians by Lucian. Living past 80 brings unexpected rewards, argues Lucian's "Octogenarians"—a witty takedown of youth obsession that celebrates the intellectual vigor and freedom of old age. His counterintuitive claim that elderly minds are sharper, not duller, challenges modern biases. This ancient defense of aging gracefully offers timeless wisdom about finding joy in life's later chapters.
