Timarion
text:
The Timarion is a Byzantine pseudo-Lucianic satirical dialogue probably composed in the twelfth century, though possibly later. The eponymous hero, on his way to a Christian fair at Thessalonica, is unexpectedly taken to Hades, which is ruled by pagan figures and pagan justice, and where "Galilæans" make up only one sect (αἵρεσις) of many. In one scene, a eunuch whose face "shines like the sun" whispers in Timarion's ear. His companion Theodore says it's his guardian angel.
