grbs-7351	Anderson, Graham	Lucian’s Nigrinus: the Problem of Form	1978	8	.pdf	application/pdf	3205	148	63	HE Nigrinus is the most persistently reinterpreted of Lucian's dialogues:1 most scholars have felt that it is too eccentric in form to be accepted at its face value as a tribute from an ad­ mirer to an unknown philosopher Nigrinus. Several explanations of this sequence have been offered: Lucian is held to be writing genuine a7To/-LV7J/-LovetJ/-LaTa or £YKciJ/-LtOV and .p6yOC; he is held to be saying one thing in the frame, another in his recollec­ tions of Nigrinus' conversation-as the result of either inept revision or deliberate intent to conceal his real purpose, artistic or political; and the contrast in mood between frame and centre is difficult to resolve.	cache/grbs-7351.pdf	txt/grbs-7351.txt
