Quote:Lucian wrote a lot of phantasy stories, one of the called "True Stories" - about a trip to the moon.
But Lucian was not the type who created stories out of nothing or for no reason. He made up stuff only to caricate widely held opinions or views.
Btw I am still wondering how much of his trip to the moon anticipates modern science fiction and fantasy novels.
