Book Description

Excerpt from The Works of Lucian of Samosata, Vol. 4 of 4: Complete With Exceptions Specified in the Preface Gods to witness his innocence. Showing Slander the way is a man with piercing eyes, but pale, deformed, and shrunken as from long illness; one may easily guess him to be Envy. Two female attendants encourage Slander, acting as tire-wornen, and adding touches to her beauty; according to the titers, one of these is Malice, and the other Deceit. Following behind in mourning guise, blaek-robed and with torn hair, comes (i think he named her) Repentance. She looks tearfully behind her, awaiting shame-faced the approach of Truth. That was how Apelles translated his peril into paint. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
