"Pseudo-Lukian" is the way some languages (for example German and Danish) spell "pseudo-Lucian", the author of an ancient Greek text, The Erōtes or Amores ("Loves", or "The two kinds of love"), The dialogue is transmitted among the works of Lucian, but the authorship is contested by most modern scholars on the basis of the style. Therefore, the work is normally cited under the name of pseudo-Lucian.
