ΜΙΣΟΠΩΓΩΝ
EN translation: Wilmer Cave Wright, 1913
The Misopogon, or Beard-Hater, or Antiochene, is a satirical essay on philosophers by the Roman Emperor Julian –Flavius Claudius Julianus, written in Classical Greek, in Antioch (February or March 363), not long before Julian departed for his fateful Persian campaign.
“Beard-Hater,” the intriguing moniker of Julian’s satire, unfurls layers of irony and audacity, challenging norms through pen and insight.
The original book had pages with Classic Greek (CGR) on the left page and the corresponding English (EN) translation on the facing right page. Both texts contains markings such as [2] and [C]; they are section and sub-section markings that in the original book were in the right margin. These are different from numbers within parentheses such as (4), which are used as footnote references.
