Misopogon
The Misopogon ('Beard-Hater') is a satirical essay on philosophers by the
Persian
campaign.
Glanville Downey says of the text:
- Julian vented his spleen in the famous satire, the Misopogon or Beard-Hater, in which, by pretending to satirize himself and the philosopher's beard which he wore in a clean-shaven age, he was able to pour forth his bitter anger against, and disappointment with, the people of Antioch.[1]
