"Creeds for Sale" is the story where Zeus puts various philosophers up for sale in a slave market.Lucian of Samosata (/lun, lusin/; Ancient Greek: Λουκιανς Σαμοσατες, Latin: Lucianus Samosatensis; about 125 CE - after 180 CE) was a rhetorician and satirist who wrote in the Greek language during the Second Sophistic. He is noted for his witty and scoffing nature.Lucian wrote exclusively in ancient Greek. He wrote mainly in the Attic dialect, but On the Syrian Goddess, which is attributed to him, is written in a faux-Ionic dialect.Few details of Lucian's life can be verified with any degree of accuracy, though clues can be found in writings attributed to him. In several works he claims to have been born in Samosata, in the former kingdom of Commagene, which had been absorbed by the Roman Empire and made part of the province of Syria.
