Lucian’s Tyrannicide, Phalaris and Downward Journey encourage us to think that power can turn out to be an irrational exaltation of omnipotence, everywhere and every time, and that in every man there can be some seed of tyrannical folly. At the same time, while criticizing the mighty, the writer also criticizes the society they rule and he makes us laugh and think over ourselves and our vices.
