Maud Gleason interpreted the Misopogon as a “festive satire,” a product of the New Year’s festival at Antioch, albeit with the serious aim of chastising the Antiochenes.7 Gleason’s influential approach has recently been re-examined by Lieve Van Hoof and Peter Van Nuffelen, who see the piece as Julian’s “word of goodbye to Antioch” and interpret it not as evidence of a good-natured exchange, but as Julian’s attempt to have the last word.	cache/grbs-15885.pdf	txt/grbs-15885.txt
