Peter Thonemann provides the first full-length treatment of Lucian's Alexander in English, including a historical and literary introduction and a detailed commentary on the text. The volume also includes a translation of the surviving fragments of Oinomaos of Gadara's The Exposure of Sorcerers. Without doubt, Thonemann's book is a substantial commentary on Lucian's Alexander or The False Prophet, and a valuable study of the religious history of the second century AD Greco-Roman World.
