Well, it was a story. Unfortunately, I don't know enough references about Greek life in the time of Lucian to appreciate it.

Mostly of interest as a historical artifact. It's has merit as a strange early example of big tropes of speculative fiction, but trying to follow it as a literary work in and of itself is a non-starter.
