GOMEZ CARDO, Pilar. The rebellious Momo and the apologist Athenagoras: two gazes at the religious identity in the Second Century A. D. Nova tellus [online]. 2023, vol.41, n.1, pp.89-118.  Epub 31-Mar-2023. ISSN 0185-3058.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.nt.2023.41.1.2300s01x05.

In Lucian’s Assembly of the Gods, the god Momo regrets the degradation suffered by the oldest Olympian deities due to the changes introduced in the traditional religion, using such arguments just as Athenagoras in his Legatio when he defends Christianity. This paper analyses how the match between the reasoning between Lucian and the apologist evidences the crisis of religiosity in the second century A. D., as well as their condition of pepaideuménoi, despite the disparity of purposes between both authors.

Palavras-chave : Lucian; Assembly of the Gods; Athenagoras; Embassy for the Christians; religion.
