Reading Saturnalia | Alexandria
Read Saturnalia by Lucian. Transforming reality into biting satire, Lucian's "Saturnalia" imagines an outrageous deal between the rich and poor, negotiated by a god who demands wealth-sharing during his festival. This ancient text skewers economic inequality with startling modern resonance, revealing how even divine intervention can't fix human greed - a counterintuitive twist showing that cosmic power yields to mortal stubbornness.
