Ancient Sources / Lucian of Samosata / The Judgement of the Goddesses

The Judgement of the Goddesses, called The Judgement of Paris in the Fowlers' volume, is a dialogue between Zeus, Hermes, the three goddesses and Paris. It was the twentieth of the Dialogues of the Gods in the older, Jacobitz numbering, but the modern editions print it as a piece of its own. It has 16 sections in the Greek.
