The Mimes of the Courtesans is a collection of satirical and humorous short stories written by the ancient Greek writer Lucian in the 2nd century AD. The stories are set in the world of ancient Greek courtesans, who were women trained in the art of seduction and entertainment. In the book, Lucian tells the stories of various courtesans and their exploits, often poking fun at their vanity, greed, and promiscuity. The courtesans are portrayed as cunning and manipulative, using their beauty and charm to gain wealth and power. The stories are written in the form of mimes, which were popular theatrical performances in ancient Greece that used gestures, facial expressions, and music to tell a story. Lucian's mimes are witty and irreverent, and offer a glimpse into the social and cultural norms of ancient Greek society. Overall, The Mimes of the Courtesans is a fascinating and entertaining read that provides insight into the lives of ancient Greek courtesans and the society in which they lived.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
