Reading The Consonants At Law | Alexandria
Read The Consonants At Law by Lucian. Battling letters in a courtroom drama, The Consonants At Law presents Sigma suing Tau for property theft in ancient Greece's first linguistic lawsuit. Lucian's witty satire exposes how language evolves through usage rather than rules - a revelation that challenges prescriptive grammar even today. The absurd trial proves linguistic change is inevitable, not criminal.
