卢西恩的《涅西曼蒂亚》的高潮发生在玩世不恭的犬儒派传教士墨尼普斯在冥府中找到了泰瑞西亚斯,并向他提出了引发他荷马式探索的问题:什么是最好的生活方式(πο ν τ α γε τα ν ρι ο τ ον βίον,21)。底比斯的第一部分反应是明确的。他赞扬了“普通人”的生活。. .21),并敦促犬儒主义者忽略哲学家的形而上学的思考,而不是追求一个单一的目的(το το μ νον ριστο θηρ ι σ,21. 3 -4)。这就是目的,泰瑞西亚斯智慧的核心,它没有被评论家成功地解释。
The climactic moment of Lucian's Necyomantia occurs when the ludic Cynic preacher, Menippus, finds Tiresias in Hades and poses to him the question which provoked his Homeric quest: what is the best way of life (ποῖόν τινα ήγεῖται τòν ἂριοτον βίον, 21)? The first part of the Theban's response is clear. He praises the life of ‘the ordinary guy’ (ό τῶν ὶδιωτῶ ἂριστος βίος . . .21) and urges the Cynic to ignore the philosophers with their metaphysical speculations and instead to pursue one end alone (τοῦτο μόνον έξ ἄριστος θηράσῃ, 21.3–4). It is this end, the kernel of Tiresias' wisdom, which has not been successfully construed by commentators.
