Works
Over eighty works attributed to Lucian
have survived.[47][48][5][7] These works
belong to a diverse variety of styles and
genres,[47][49][50] and include comic
dialogues, rhetorical essays, and prose
fiction.[47][49] Lucian's writings were
targeted towards a highly educated,
upper-class Greek audience[51] and make
almost constant allusions to Greek
cultural history,[51] leading the classical
scholar R. Bracht Branham to label
Lucian's highly sophisticated style "the
comedy of tradition".[51] By the time
Lucian's writings were rediscovered
during the Renaissance, most of the
works of literature referenced in them
had been lost or forgotten,[51] making it
difficult for readers of later periods to
understand his works.[51]

Notes
a. /ˈljuːʃən, -siən/; Ancient Greek:
Λουκιανὸς ὁ Σαμοσατεύς, Loukianòs
ho Samosateús; Latin: Lucianus
Samosatensis
b. Tychiades is commonly identified as
an authorial self-insertion,[37][39]
although Daniel Ogden notes that
this can only be true to a limited
extent.[40]
