| Crynodeb: | Among the spurious works in the corpus of Lucian of Samosata is a dialogue entitled Nero, where two characters – an unidentified Menecrates and the famous Stoic philosopher Musonius Rufus – discuss some topics related to Nero and his activities in Greece. This volume presents a new edition of the dialogue, which has thus far received scanty attention from scholars. The introduction addresses issues dealing with the work’s title and authorship, its relationship with other texts from the Imperial age that mention Nero, its language, style, manuscript tradition and printed editions up to the most recent one, published by Matthew D. Macleod in 1987. This is followed by the Greek text of Nero, based on the aforementioned edition, but with some deviations, and a new Italian translation, the first since Luigi Settembrini’s in 1862. A detailed commentary is then offered for the first time, including philological, linguistic, historical and literary analyses. The volume concludes with an extensive bibliography and three indexes, dedicated to notable Greek words and expressions, principal cited passages and topics respectively. |
