Lucian's Dialogues Volume 4: Zeus the Tragedian

by Lucian of Samosata

The king of gods and men, thus adjured, announced the true reason of his anxiety--daring assaults upon the character of himself and the rest of the Olympian divinities, and, in fact, denial of their very existence by the skeptics. What would be the best course to pursue?
