The Literary Context and Social Sub-Context in Lucian and Gellius 4. Lucian’s Olympus and the Link to Christianity 5. The Reception of Lucian 6. ConclusionReviews[Eleni Bozia] is to be commended for putting into dialogue the cultural representations of Lucian and his Roman nearcontemporaries ... The passages she has raised bring up some interesting questions about the extent to which Lucian may be responding to Roman representations of Greeks. Useful too is her discussion of the literary context, and especially the practice of Aulus Gellius ... [Bozia] brings in a broad spectrum of both pre-Christian and Christian primary literature in her fourth chapter, `Lucian's Olympus', and convincingly argues that the convergences on Christianity in both Lucian's work and that of the Christian apologists must mean that Lucian was not as ignorant of early Christianity as has been alleged ... Finally, the last two chapters provide stimulating discussion on Lucian's reception, literary and artistic, which provide an update and addendum to similar studies such as that by Robinson (Lucian and His Influence in Europe [1979]). - Dr Calum Maciver, University of Edinburgh, in The Classical Review [Eleni Bozia] is to be commended for putting into dialogue the cultural representations of Lucian and his Roman nearcontemporaries ...
