Abstract

The aim of this essay is to analyze and describe the characteristics of the Hereafter in Lucian as a paradoxical utopia with a cynical origin. Specifically in Hades we can find the egalitarian rules of democracy and we hope that the law will be the same for everyone. And the hereafter is the realm of freedom of speech and laugh, where we can meet Menippus, Diogenes and Crates. Of course, as we shall see, not all the problems are eliminated.
