Parody and pastiche are among the main literary and satirical strategies used by Lucian of Samosata. The aim of this article is to explore the relationship between the reuse of the tradition of Greek paideia and the new perspectives of literature through the analysis of a serie of examples (cat., hist. conscr., VH, Peregr., Alex.). On the one hand, there is the recognition of the greatness of the ancient authors and certainly there is also the literary pleasure of pepaideumenos. At the same time, in contrast to what happens for mimesis
in the Second Sophistic, Lucian’s parody and satirical pastiches look in other directions, because parody, by its nature and through the 'necessary gap', always implies a principle of subversion of the tradition: in Lucian's Works the satiric rule of «believing in nothing» produces its effects in the development

This study explored the impact of multiple deployments on the health and well-being of the partners (married or de facto) and children of Australian military personnel who have deployed frequently. Permission to contact military partners was sought from a sample of Australian Defence Force (ADF) members. Partners provided data on deployment history, physical health, mental health, and their children’s emotions, and behaviors. Associations between multiple deployments and health and well-being of partners and children were assessed using logistic regression. Data were collected from 1,332 Australian Defence Force partners (response rate 36%) with 1,095 children aged between 4 and 17 years. Almost half (47%) of partners had experienced more than one deployment, mainly to Timor-Leste, Iraq, and Afghanistan. There was little evidence of associations between numbers of deployments and the health of the partner. In contrast, more behavioral problems were reported for children who experienced two or more deployments with odds ratios generally greater than 2 and significant trends with increasing numbers of deployment. Although military families who experience multiple deployments may, by selection, be more resilient than those who have fewer deployments, these results suggest that adverse impacts on the children may accrue with increasing parental absences because of deployment
