Lucian

Lucian was an ancient Greek writer from the 2nd century CE, known for his witty, satirical works that often mock mythology, religion, and societal norms. He used humor and irony to challenge conventional beliefs and promote critical thinking. His most famous work, *True History*, is considered one of the earliest sci-fi stories, imagining cosmic adventures and fantastical worlds. Lucian’s writings influenced later thinkers and writers, and he remains important for his sharp, humorous critique of cultural ideas and his innovative storytelling.
