"Λουκιανού - Άπαντα, Τόμος Τέταρτος" by of Samosata Lucian is a classical work likely written in the late 2nd century AD. This collection explores various themes in the realm of satire and philosophical dialogue, particularly engaging with the relationships between mortals and gods. The initial passage sets the stage for an examination of divine responsibilities and human fallibility, focusing on the character of Zeus as he reflects on the burdens he bears
as king of the gods. The opening of this volume introduces Zeus contemplating the hardships faced by the deities, who labor tirelessly for the welfare of humanity despite their supposed happiness. He expresses frustration over the endless duties he must oversee, such as weather control and the administration of justice, while feeling unappreciated. Hermes enters the scene, discussing the murmurs of discontent among mortals regarding unresolved legal matters, prompting Zeus to convene a court to address these grievances. This dialogue highlights the interplay of philosophical thought and mythological elements, serving as a framework for the satirical exploration of justice and the human condition.
