<mask>, AKA "<mask>" and "<mask>," (1914-1982) was a 20th-century American Communist screenwriter whose career was cut short by the Hollywood blacklist. Background

<mask> was born on February 20, 1914, in New York City. Career

In 1942 following the December 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, <mask> volunteered to serve in the United States Army. In 1946, after his discharge and a short leave with family in New York, <mask> moved to Los Angeles. Screenwriter

<mask> became a screenwriter, whose career took off in the late 1940s. He often adapted books to film, as in Best Man Wins, adapted from a story by Mark Twain. Blacklist scholars Ceplair and Englund grouped <mask> among those screenwriters who considered movies a "high art."<mask> joined the League of American Writers, a Popular Front group organized by the Communist Party in 1935 and disbanded in 1943. (His relative B.W<mask> of Viking Press was also a member.) By 1951, <mask> went onto the Hollywood Blacklist; his name was omitted from writing credits for The Son of Dr. Jekyll. Hollywood Blacklist

Investigation into Communist infiltration into Hollywood commenced nationally with hearings by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in October 1947 that led to indictment of the Hollywood Ten for contempt of Congress. On April 17, 1951, <mask>'s name came up during hearings. HUAC investigator William A. Wheeler testified:    The last individual which I wish to bring to the committee's attention is <mask>.He resides at 11200 La Maida, Los Angeles, Calif. We received this subpena rather late on our first trip to California,

texts: and when we received it we accompanied the United States marshal or deputy United States marshal to the home of Mr. <mask>. The marshal talked to Mrs. <mask> and was informed that her husband would be home later that same date. We stayed around the place until fairly late at night, and Mr. <mask> did not return. Inquiries around the neighborhood disclosed that the next day Mrs. Huebsch loaded the station wagon up and left. No one has been there for the last 5 weeks. We contacted the residence again on April 6, and no one was at home. (The HUAC hearing transcript includes a footnote with corrected address:  "<mask>sch , 10200 La Nida, North Hollywood.")Wheeler then read aloud for the public a letter from Jakes J. Boyiz, US Marshal for the Southern District of California, that shared "the following named persons be served subpenas commanding their appearance In the District of Columbia: Georgia Backus Alexander, Jack Berry, Hugo Butler, Leonardo Bercovici, <mask>, Karen Morley, Fred Rinaldo, Lew Solomon, Michael Uris." Finally, writer-director Frank Wright Tuttle worked through a list of subversive Hollywood people, which included Huebsch:       MR. TUTTLE: ...Mr. <mask>, H-u-e-b-s-c-h, a writer. MR. TAVENNER: Do you reca11 his first name? MR. TUTTLE: I think it was Eddie. I am not sure. MR. TAVENNER:  You say he was a writer? MrMR.TUTTLE: Yes. MR.

In May 1952, <mask> joined 14 others (including members of the Hollywood Ten) in writing a letter to the Screen Writers Guild that urged the guild to stand up for credits to Paul Jarrico as screenwriter for the movie The Las Vegas Story. During testimony by fellow screenwriter Stanley Roberts, <mask>'s name came up again on May 20, 1952. Roberts described himself as a "motion-picture writer" who had worked in that business since 1936 for studios major (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Columbia, Universal) and minor (Monogram).Roberts tried to explain to the committee that, "It is very difficult for us to understand, but communism in Hollywood, as I have seen it, is on a purely local level. It doesn't seem to go anywhere." In 1938, Roberts first met Ben Barzman's home, where members like John Howard Lawson asked him to join. In late April or early May 1945, right after the death of Franklin Delano Roosevelt ("the death of liberalism in America"), Bernard C. Schoenfeld got him to join. Two or three other "delegates" came to visit Roberts after that, one of whom was <mask>. These delegates, including <mask>, persuaded him that "The party was merely interested in the things that I was interested in, better conditions in the Screen Writers' Guild, better labor conditions in Hollywood, higher wages, and so forth, and in furthering Roosevelt's policies." Roberts left the Party in 1946, but <mask> came back to ask him to rejoin and support the  Conference of Studio Unions (CSU) strike (see "Hollywood Black Friday").Roberts then went on

On March 23, 1953, <mask> himself appeared before HUAC, counseled by William B. Esterman. Initially, <mask> objected to the televising of hearings by Congress, a point to which the committee acceded and rescheduled his hearing. On March 24, 1953, David A. Lang, a fellow screenwriter, named <mask> as part of a Communist cell whose members also included: George Bassman, Nick Bela, <mask>, Henry Blankfort, Laurie Blankfort, William Blowitz, Hugo Butler, Howard Dimsdale, Morton Grant, Lester Koenig, Millard Lampell, Pauline Lagerfin, Isobel Lennart, Al Levitt, Arnold Manoff, Mortimer Offner, W.L.

Lang also described a "Writers' Clinic" to which many Hollywood Ten writers belonged. On March 25, 1953, <mask> returned for testimony, this time counseled not only by Esterman but also Daniel G. Marshall. Huebsch began by correcting the committee, saying he had not asked for no televisions but for a quashing of his subpoena.The committee

 disregarded his request but assured him he was not being recorded. After a short biography, the committee pressed him to state whether he had ever been a member of the Communist Party USA. <mask> declined to answer, citing the Fifth Amendment. The committee pressed him by demanding he cite which provision of the Fifth Amendment, etc. <mask> was equally aggressive, calling committee chairman Harold Velde "King Harold Velde" (in reference to King George III). When the committee tried to press <mask> into strictly "yes" or "no" answers, <mask> cited a passage in the Fifth Amendment that prohibited the committee from such. Eventually, <mask> refused to answer by citing the First, Fifth, Ninth, and Tenth Amendments of the United States Constitution, at which point the committee dismissed him.The New York Times noted <mask>'s "verbal jousting" with HUAC and that committee members called him "contemptuous." Comeback

In 1977, <mask> tried to make a comeback with Twighlight's Last Gleaming, directed by Robert Aldrich. Variety called it "intricate, intriguing and intelligent drama." The New York Times called the movie a "deadly solemn, gadgety suspense-melodrama about a disgruntled, liberal-thinking United States general, a Vietnam veteran whose out-spoken antiwar views got him railroaded to prison on a trumped-up murder charge." While the newspaper summed it up in 1977 as having "no star," in 2012 a new review said it "epitomized a paranoid, quintessentially ’70s moment in American history and imagination... a nerve-racking procedural." In 1979, <mask> published the historical fiction novel The Last

<mask> died age 68 on July 7, 1982, in Los Angeles, California. Legacy

In 1980, Victor Navasky named <mask> as a communist with the following passage in his book Naming Names with regard to Carl Foreman, a fellow American screenwriter:       Another party interested in Foreman's testimony was the CP itself. They sent the screenwriter <mask> to interview Foreman:    I was assigned by the Party to find out what Foreman's testimony was going to be. I had lunch with him--he was doing High Noon at the time. I sat for eleven hours with him. We went to Lucy's, the fanciest restaurant in Hollywood--across from Paramount. I could not get him to assert that he would take an anti-Communist position.So I reported that he was an informer. Nothing he has said then or since has convinced me I was wrong... The main point is, Carl wouldn't tell the Commies to go fuck themselves... I would have recommended expulsion. Also in 1980, Ceplair and Englund mentioned <mask> as one of those dodged subpoenas, recalled in 1999 by fellow screenwriter Bernard Gordon in a specific incident:      An especially odious instance of this kind of hysteria occurred close to home at a meeting of the Screen Writers Guild in Hollywood. A good friend of mine, <mask>, was ducking a subpoena from HUAC but decided to attend a guild meeting because a discussion of the guild and the

 blacklist was scheduled. Outside the meeting hall, Eddie spotted the federal marshal who had been trying to serve him.Eddie ducked into the hall and saw the marshal was trying to follow him into the closed meeting. Eddie immediately asked the chair to have the marshal barred, because only member of the guild were permitted. One of the right-wing members raised a point of order and moved the marshal be given temporary membership in the guild and be permitted to enter the hall. This was promptly scheduled; the chair called for a vote... The members voted in favor of the motion. The marshal walked over and served Eddie the subpoena. Interpreting the meaning of this event, Gordon concluded:  "It means that the fear of the consequences were so pervasive for anyone who was seen to opposed the extreme right wing that no one dared to take such a stand openly" and opposed the blacklisting.In 1997, the Writers Guild of America included Huebsch among 24 films that used pseudonyms (or "fronts") for true writers. In 2000, the Writers Guild of America West issued further corrected blacklist credits that included Huebsch:    LITTLE GIANTS (Producciones Olmeca)  Original Credit: Written for the Screen by Hugo Mozo and Eduardo Bueno.

Healthcare fraud

<mask> was an expert in prosecuting healthcare fraud, having authored a 954-page textbook on the subject. As U.S. Attorney, <mask> took an interest in the case of San Diego's Alvarado Hospital Medical Center, which was owned by Tenet Healthcare Corporation, the nation's second-largest hospital chain. In 2002, government agents raided the hospital.

Anti-corruption activity

Attorneys on <mask>'s staff, including Assistant United States Attorneys Jason Forge, Phillip Halpern and Valerie Chu, secured indictments against Central Intelligence Agency official Kyle "Dusty" Foggo and contractor Brent R. Wilkes. Wilkes figured in the Cunningham scandal. The New York Times, citing unnamed sources, has reported that <mask> was investigating Republican Congressman Jerry Lewis at the time of her dismissal. The Los Angeles Times, House Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel and Senator Chuck Schumer, and others, asserted that <mask> was investigating Jerry Lewis, suggesting that her firing by the Bush administration was politically motivated. However, The Washington Post and other news organizations reported that the investigation into Lewis was being run out of the U.S. Attorney's office in Los Angeles in coordination with the Los Angeles FBI field office.In January 2006, Lam announced the indictment of San Diego Gas & Electric on five counts of environmental crimes regarding mishandled asbestos removal during the decommissioning of the Encanto Gas Holder site in Lemon Grove, California.

On December 7, 2006, Michael A. Battle, director of the Executive Office for US Attorneys, called <mask> and notified her that she must resign no later than January 31, 2007. Battle instructed <mask> to explain that she had decided to pursue other opportunities.

 answer "that would lead" <mask> down the wrong path. McNulty added that he knew <mask> had been through a long trial (presumably the Alvarado Hospital case) and had great respect for her.In a follow-up call with Battle, <mask> requested additional time to ensure an orderly transition from office. On January 5, 2007, Battle said her request was "not being received positively" and that <mask> "should stop thinking in terms of the cases in the office". Battle insisted that <mask> had to depart in weeks, not months, and these orders were "coming from the very highest levels of government". <mask> submitted her resignation January 16, 2007, effective February 15. Many prominent Democrats, including Senators Charles Schumer and Dianne Feinstein, allege that <mask>'s firing was part of a broader, vengeful move against prosecutors that have pursued political corruption cases that damaged the careers of Republican politicians, or that were not loyal enough to either the Republican Party or the Administration. Republican Congressman Darrell Issa has stated that he takes "maybe one-twentieth" of the responsibility for <mask>'s firing. Statistics compiled by <mask>'s office corroborate the assertion that total prosecutions in border crossing cases have declined over <mask>'s tenure.However, the Justice Department itself defended <mask> in an August 23, 2006, letter to Senator Feinstein. They asserted:

The immigration philosophy of the Southern District focuses on deterrence by directing its resources and efforts against the worst immigration offenders and by bringing felony cases against such defendants that will result in longer sentences. For example,

 although the number of defendants who received prison sentences between 1–12 months fell from 896 in 2004 to 338 in 2005, the number of immigration defendants who received sentences longer than 60 months rose from 21 to 77. Prosecutions for alien smuggling in the Southern District under U.S.C. sec. 1324 are rising sharply in Fiscal Year 2006. In her own defense, <mask> echoed the Justice Department's August letter, emphasizing quality prosecutions over sheer quantity."When you take on more difficult investigations, the number of prosecutions might not be as high, but you have a larger impact on crime in the community." During her tenure as U.S. Attorney, <mask> received both the Director's Award for Superior Performance and the Attorney General's Award for Distinguished Service. United States Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah, a Republican member of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, stated on his April 1, 2007, appearance on NBC's Meet the Press broadcast:

Senator Hatch's description of <mask>, however, was inaccurate; <mask> was never a campaign manager for any candidate, nor a law professor, and she is an experienced prosecutor. After a week of controversy, Hatch wrote a letter to Tim Russert claiming that he "mispoke" in naming <mask> several times, intending instead to name Alan Bersin, <mask>'s predecessor; however, Bersin likewise had never been a law professor and was an experienced trial lawyer.

<mask> was born in Köthen, a small German city, where his father, <mask>, had worked for years as the principal viola da gamba and cello player in the court orchestra. In 1723 <mask> senior became director of the orchestra, when the previous director, Johann Sebastian Bach, moved to Leipzig. The young <mask> later boarded at St. Thomas School, Leipzig, where he was taught by Bach. On Bach's recommendation in 1743 he was able to join Johann Adolph Hasse's court orchestra at Dresden, where he remained for fifteen years. In 1759 (or 1758 according to Chambers), he went to England and became chamber-musician to Queen Charlotte, in 1764.He gave a concert of his own compositions in London, performing on various instruments, one of which was a five-string cello known as a pentachord, which had been recently invented by John Joseph Merlin.

In those concerts, many celebrated guest artists appeared, and many works of Haydn received their first English performance. For ten years the concerts were organized by Mrs. Theresa Cornelys, a retired Venetian opera singer who owned a concert hall at Carlisle House in Soho Square, then the height of fashionable events. In 1775 the concerts became independent of her, to be continued by <mask> and Bach until Bach's death in 1782. <mask> still remained in great demand as a player on various instruments new and old.He traveled to Germany and France between 1782 and 1785, and upon his return to London, became a leading member of the Grand Professional Concerts at the Hanover Square Rooms in Soho. Throughout his life he had enjoyed excessive living, and his drinking probably hastened his death, which occurred in London on 20 June 1787. He was buried in the churchyard of St Pancras Old Church.

texts: <mask>pa <mask> (born 28 January 1958) is an Australian politician. She was member of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly between 2005 and 2016, representing the electorate of Namatijra (known as MacDonnell until 2012). Currently an independent, she has previously served as a minister for both the Labor Party and Country Liberal Party and been territory leader of the Palmer United Party. <mask> entered the Northern Territory Assembly as a star candidate for the Labor Party in the 2005 election. She was re-elected unopposed as the Member for MacDonnell in the August 2008 Territory election and with the subsequent return of the Henderson Labor Government was appointed to the Cabinet. She held variously the positions of Minister for Natural Resources, Environment and Heritage, Minister for Parks and Wildlife, Minister for Arts and Museums and Minister for Indigenous Policy. <mask> left the Cabinet and the Labor Party in 2009, after a dispute over Indigenous housing, and then sat as an independent for two years; she joined the opposition Country Liberal Party in 2011 and was elected as a Country Liberal candidate at the 2012 election.She resigned from the CLP in 2014, along with two other Indigenous MPs, briefly becoming an independent once again. However, on 27 April 2014 it was announced that the three MLAs had joined the Palmer United Party, with <mask> serving as parliamentary leader. She resigned from Palmer United to sit as an independent on 29 November 2014. It was briefly rumoured that she was returning to the CLP amid the 2015 CLP leadership spill, but she remained an independent. <mask> speaks six Indigenous languages: Anmatyerre, Luritja, Pitjantjatjara, Warlpiri, Western Arrernte and Yankunytjatjara. She is also an accomplished artist. She is among Australia's most senior Indigenous politicians, and has been a prominent Indigenous activist, including as an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) Central Zone Commissioner (see: List of Indigenous Australian politicians).Her partner is Nicolas Rothwell, journalist with

 The Australian. <mask> retired at the 2016 Territory election. Early life and career

<mask> was born in the remote community of Haasts Bluff and was raised in a number of other communities, including Hermannsburg and Papunya. She moved to Alice Springs to attend school, studying at Traeger Park School, Alice Springs High School, and St Philip's College. She subsequently received a Diploma of Community Management from the Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education. Returning to Papunya, she was elected chief executive officer of the Papunya Community Council in 1985, a role which she fulfilled until handing it over to her husband, Steve Handley, in 2000. She thereby became a prominent representative for the town, then as now one of the country's most impoverished communities, where basic services failed entirely at times.In this role, <mask> was heavily involved throughout the 1990s in conflicts with successive Country Liberal Party territory governments over the provision of electricity, education, and health services. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission
<mask> was first elected as the ATSIC Commissioner for the Northern Territory Central Zone in November 1999. She developed a reputation as an advocate for women's rights within the organisation, and in 2003, was involved in the creation of ATSIC's women's advisory board. She became seen as a leading contender for chairperson of the organisation, and in 2002, unsuccessfully challenged veteran leader Geoff Clark. Eight months later, she nominated for the position of deputy chairperson after the resignation of Ray Robinson, but was defeated by one vote despite Robinson's endorsement. She supported the federal government's decision to abolish ATSIC in 2004, declaring that reform of the organisation was overdue, but was sharply critical of their decision to replace it with only a consultative committee. She was nevertheless appointed by the federal government as a Central Australian representative to their Round Table on Indigenous issues later that year.Northern Territory

In late 2004, <mask> announced her intention to contest Labor preselection for the seat of MacDonnell, traditionally a safe Labor seat, but then held by two-term CLP member John Elferink. She had previously been preselected by the party to stand at the 2001 election, but had withdrawn. She subsequently resigned from the ATSIC board, and was confirmed as the Labor candidate in March. She was widely seen as a star candidate during the campaign, due to her high profile in Central Australia, stemming from her work as an ATSIC Commissioner. Her campaign suffered an early blow when her husband was charged with stealing offences in February. She suffered a further blow when, through April and May, the Alice Springs News and The Age aired sweeping allegations of corruption and mismanagement during her husband's administration of Papunya. She resisted calls from the opposition to stand aside as the candidate, dismissing the claims as a smear campaign.In spite of the allegations, she was easily elected in June, defeating Elferink with a swing of more than 30%. The Papunya scandal continued to afflict <mask> in her first months in parliament, as the Commonwealth government launched an investigation into allegations of misuse of government funds by the town administration. This escalated in September, when her now-estranged husband, against whom she had taken out a restraining order, filed a statutory declaration with police alleging that <mask> was responsible for corrupt activities during his administration, and had attempted to bribe elders during her campaign. She was subsequently cleared of any wrongdoing in the police investigation. The Commonwealth investigation, while reporting widespread missing funds, did not attribute responsibility for this to <mask>. However, allegations of mismanagement persisted in the media for months afterwards. As her electorate represents much of Central Australia, <mask> has often acted as a spokesperson on issues affecting the communities in the area.In May 2007, she risked expulsion from the party by

<mask> was re-elected unopposed in 2008, and continued to be critical of the Henderson government. Finally, she resigned from the Labor Party on 4 August 2009, commenting that "I'm not happy with the way we have conducted ourselves as a government." She also noted her unhappiness that Chief Minister Paul Henderson did not speak out in her defence following an article severely criticising her written by journalist Nigel Adlam in the Northern Territory News. The resignation comes after <mask> had been very critical of the Northern Territory government about what she considered to be the inefficient operation of the $672 million Strategic Indigenous Housing and Infrastructure Program. On 8 September 2011, she joined the Country Liberal Party, the opposition party in the Territory. She was one of 12 high-profile Indigenous Australians to join the CLP that day.Thereafter, <mask>'s former party attacked her record prior to her entry to Parliament and promotion to their Cabinet, repeating allegations made in Russell Skelton's book King Brown Country: The Betrayal of Papunya. The Country Liberal Party was swept into office in the 2012 Northern Territory general election, ending 11 years of Labor rule. The victory was notable for the support it achieved from Indigenous people in pastoral and remote electorates; a total of five Aboriginal CLP candidates won election to the Assembly. <mask> won a smashing victory in the new electorate of Namatjira, essentially a reconfigured version of MacDonnell. She was appointed Minister for Indigenous Advancement. In a nationally reported speech in November 2012, <mask> condemned welfare dependency and a culture of entitlement in her first ministerial statement on the status of Aboriginal communities in the Territory and said the CLP would focus on improving education and on helping create real jobs for Indigenous

 people. <mask> was dropped from cabinet after the CLP only won five booths in the federal seat of Lingiari, which has the most Indigenous voters in Australia.This, combined with a factional struggle coming to a head, resulted in <mask> being dropped from cabinet on 9 September. In March 2014, she walked out of parliament after accusing the CLP of failing to keep promises made for the bush, including the reinstatement of a ministry for Aboriginal affairs. The Chief Minister at that time, Adam Giles, responded by suspending her from the CLP parliamentary wing. On 3 April, <mask> and two other Indigenous MPs, Larisa Lee and Francis Xavier Kurrupuwu, resigned from the CLP, slipping their resignation letters under the door of the CLP office in Darwin. According to The Australian, they were laying the groundwork for a new party to speak for regional interests. However, on 27 April, it was announced they would be joining the Palmer United Party instead, with <mask> as the party's Northern Territory leader and the aim of campaigning to become Chief Minister at the 2016 election. This did not last long, and she became an independent once again later in 2014.On 3 August 2016, <mask> announced her retirement, effective with the 2016 election. She said that she never intended to serve for more than three terms. Despite her previous fraught relationship with Labor, she campaigned for the Labor candidates in both her seat and the neighbouring seat of Stuart; both won resoundingly in Labor's massive landslide that year.

texts: <mask> of Samosata (Ancient Greek: Λουκιανός ό Σαμοσατεύς), ( 125 – after 180) was a Hellenized Syrian satirist, rhetorician and pamphleteer who is best known for his characteristic tongue-in-cheek style, with which he frequently ridiculed superstition, religious practices, and belief in the paranormal. Although his native language was probably Syriac, all of his extant works are written entirely in ancient Greek (mostly in the Attic Greek dialect popular during the Second Sophistic period). Everything that is known about <mask>'s life comes from his own writings, which are often difficult to interpret because of his extensive use of sarcasm. According to his oration The Dream, he was the son of a lower middle class family from the city of Samosata along the banks of the Euphrates in the remote Roman province of Syria. As a young man, he was apprenticed to his uncle to become a sculptor, but, after a failed attempt at sculpting, he ran away to pursue an education in Ionia. He may have become a travelling lecturer and visited universities throughout the Roman Empire. After acquiring fame and wealth through his teaching, <mask> finally settled down in Athens for a decade, during which he wrote most of his extant works.In his fifties, he may have been appointed as a highly paid government official in Egypt, after which point he disappears from the historical record. <mask>'s works were wildly popular in antiquity, and more than eighty writings attributed to him have survived to the present day, a considerably higher quantity than for most other classical writers. His most famous work is A True Story, a tongue-in-cheek satire against

 authors who tell incredible tales, which is regarded by some as the earliest known work of science fiction. <mask> invented the genre of the comic dialogue, a parody of the traditional Socratic dialogue. His dialogue Lover of Lies makes fun of people who believe in the supernatural and contains the oldest known version of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice". <mask> wrote numerous satires making fun of traditional stories about the gods including The Dialogues of the Gods, Icaromenippus, Zeus Rants, Zeus Catechized, and The Parliament of the Gods. His Dialogues of the Dead focuses on the Cynic philosophers Diogenes and Menippus.Philosophies for Sale and The Banquet or Lapiths make fun of various philosophical schools, and The Fisherman or the Dead Come to Life is a defense of this mockery. <mask> often ridiculed public figures, such as the Cynic philosopher Peregrinus Proteus in his letter The Passing of Peregrinus and the fraudulent oracle Alexander of Abonoteichus in his treatise Alexander the False Prophet. <mask>'s treatise On the Syrian Goddess satirizes cultural distinctions between Greeks and Syrians and is the main source of information about the cult of Atargatis. <mask> had an enormous, wide-ranging impact on Western literature. Works inspired by his writings include Thomas More's Utopia, the works of François Rabelais, William Shakespeare's Timon of Athens and Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels. Life

 exclusively from his own writings.A variety of characters with names very similar to <mask>, including "Lukinos," "Lukianos," "Lucius," and "The Syrian" appear throughout <mask>'s writings. These have been frequently interpreted by scholars and biographers as "masks", "alter-egos", or "mouthpieces" of the author. Daniel S. Richter criticizes the frequent tendency to interpret such "Lucian-like figures" as self-inserts by the author and argues that they are, in fact, merely fictional characters <mask> uses to "think with" when satirizing conventional distinctions between Greeks and Syrians. He suggests that they are primarily a literary trope used by <mask> to deflect accusations that he as the Syrian author "has somehow outraged the purity of Greek idiom or genre" through his invention of the comic dialogue. British classicist Donald Russell states, "A good deal of what <mask> says about himself is no more to be trusted than the voyage to the moon that he recounts so persuasively in the first person in True Stories" and warns that "it is foolish to treat [the information he gives about himself in his writings] as autobiography." Background and upbringing

<mask> was born in the town of Samosata on the banks of the Euphrates on the far eastern outskirts of the Roman Empire. Samosata had been the capital of the Kingdom of Commagene until 72 AD when it was annexed by Vespasian and became part of the Roman province of Syria.The population of the town was mostly Syrian and <mask>'s native tongue was probably Syriac, a form of Middle Aramaic. During the time when <mask> lived, traditional Greco-Roman religion was in decline and its role in

texts: society had become largely ceremonial. As a substitute for traditional religion, many people in the Hellenistic world joined mystery cults, such as the Mysteries of Isis, Mithraism, the cult of Cybele, and the Eleusinian Mysteries. Superstition had always been common throughout ancient society, but it was especially prevalent during the second century. Most educated people of <mask>'s time adhered to one of the various Hellenistic philosophies, of which the major ones were Stoicism, Platonism, Peripateticism, Pyrrhonism, and Epicureanism. Every major town had its own university and these universities often employed professional travelling lecturers, who were frequently paid high sums of money to lecture about various philosophical teachings. The most prestigious center of learning was the city of Athens in Greece, which had a long intellectual history.According to <mask>'s oration The Dream, which classical scholar Lionel Casson states he probably delivered as an address upon returning to Samosata at the age of thirty-five or forty after establishing his reputation as a great orator, <mask>'s parents were lower middle class and his uncles owned a local statue-making shop. <mask>'s parents could not afford to give him a higher education, so, after he completed his elementary schooling, <mask>'s uncle took him on as an apprentice and began teaching him how to sculpt. <mask>, however, soon proved to be poor at sculpting and ruined the statue he had been working on. His uncle beat him, causing him to run off. <mask> fell asleep and experienced a dream in which he was being fought over by the personifications of Statuary and of Culture. He

 decided to listen to Culture and thus sought out an education. Although The Dream has long been treated by scholars as a truthful autobiography of <mask>, its historical accuracy is questionable at best.Classicist Simon Swain calls it "a fine but rather apocryphal version of <mask>'s education" and Karin Schlapbach calls it "ironical". Richter argues that it is not autobiographical at all, but rather a prolalia [], or playful literary work, and a "complicated meditation on a young man's acquisition of paideia" [i.e. education]. Russell dismisses The Dream as entirely fictional, noting, "We recall that Socrates too started as sculptor, and Ovid's vision of Elegy and Tragedy (Amores 3.1) is all too similar to <mask>'s." Education and career

In <mask>'s Double Indictment, the personification of Rhetoric delivers a speech in which she describes the unnamed defendant, who is described as a "Syrian" author of transgressive dialogues, at the time she found him, as a young man wandering in Ionia in Anatolia "with no idea what he ought to do with himself". She describes "the Syrian" at this stage in his career as "still speaking in a barbarous manner and all but wearing a caftan [kandys] in the Assyrian fashion". Rhetoric states that she "took him in hand and... gave him paideia".Scholars have long interpreted the "Syrian" in this work as <mask> himself and taken this speech to mean that <mask> ran away to Ionia, where he pursued his education. Richter, however, argues that the "Syrian" is not <mask> himself, but rather a literary device <mask> uses to subvert literary and ethnic norms. Ionia was the center of rhetorical learning at the time.


texts: The most prestigious universities of rhetoric were in Ephesus and Smyrna, but it is unlikely that <mask> could have afforded to pay the tuition at either of these schools. It is not known how <mask> obtained his education, but somehow he managed to acquire an extensive knowledge of rhetoric as well as classical literature and philosophy. <mask> mentions in his dialogue The Fisherman that he had initially attempted to apply his knowledge of rhetoric and become a lawyer, but that he had become disillusioned by the deceitfulness of the trade and resolved to become a philosopher instead. <mask> travelled across the Empire, lecturing throughout Greece, Italy, and Gaul.In Gaul, <mask> may have held a position as a highly paid government professor. In around 160, <mask> returned to Ionia as a wealthy celebrity. He visited Samosata and stayed in the east for several years. He is recorded as having been in Antioch in either 162 or 163. In around 165, he bought a house in Athens and invited his parents to come live with him in the city. <mask> must have married at some point during his travels, because in one of his writings he mentions having a son at this point. <mask> lived in Athens for around a decade, during which time he gave up lecturing and instead devoted his attention to writing.It was during this decade that <mask> composed nearly all his most famous works. <mask> wrote exclusively in Greek, mainly in the Attic Greek popular during the Second Sophistic, but On the Syrian Goddess, which is attributed to <mask>, is written in a highly successful imitation of Herodotus' Ionic Greek, leading some scholars to believe that <mask> may not

 be the real author. For unknown reasons, <mask> stopped writing around 175 and began travelling and lecturing again. During the reign of Emperor Commodus (180–92), the aging <mask> may have been appointed to a lucrative government position in Egypt. After this point, he disappears from the historical record entirely, and nothing is known about his death. Views

<mask>'s philosophical views are difficult to categorize due to his persistent use of irony and sarcasm. In The Fisherman, <mask> describes himself as a champion of philosophy and throughout his other writings he characterizes philosophy as a morally constructive discipline, but he is critical of pseudo-philosophers, whom he portrays as greedy, bad-tempered, sexually immoral hypocrites.<mask> was not known to be a member of any of the major philosophical schools. In his Philosophies for Sale, he makes fun of members of every school. <mask> was critical of Stoicism and Platonism, because he regarded them as encouraging superstition. His Nigrinus superficially appears to be a "eulogy of Platonism", but may in fact be satirical, or merely an excuse to ridicule Roman society. Nonetheless, at other times, <mask> writes approvingly of individual philosophies. According to Turner, although <mask> makes fun of Skeptic philosophers, he displays a temperamental inclination towards that philosophy. Edwyn Bevan identifies <mask> as a Skeptic, and in his Hermotimus, <mask> rejects all philosophical systems as contradictory and concludes that life is too short to determine which of them comes nearest to the truth, so the best solution is to rely on common sense, which was what the Pyrrhonian

 Skeptics advocated.The maxim that "Eyes are better witnesses than ears" is echoed repeatedly throughout several of <mask>'s dialogues. <mask> was skeptical of oracles, though he was by no means the only person of his time to voice such skepticism. <mask> rejected belief in the paranormal, regarding it as superstition. In his dialogue The Lover of Lies, he probably voices some of his own opinions through his character Tychiades, perhaps including the declaration by Tychiades that he does not believe in daemones, phantoms, or ghosts because he has never seen such things. Tychiades, however, still professes belief in the gods' existence:
Dinomachus: 'In other words, you do not believe in the existence of the Gods, since you maintain that cures cannot be wrought by the use of holy names?' Tychiades: 'Nay, say not so, my dear Dinomachus,' I answered; 'the Gods may exist, and these things may yet be lies. I respect the Gods: I see the cures performed by them, I see their beneficence at work in restoring the sick through the medium of the medical faculty and their drugs.Asclepius, and his sons after him, compounded soothing medicines and healed the sick, – without the lion's-skin-and-field-mouse process.' According to Everett Ferguson, <mask> was strongly influenced by the Cynics. The Dream or the Cock, Timon the Misanthrope, Charon or Inspectors, and The Downward Journey or the Tyrant all display Cynic themes. <mask> was particularly indebted to Menippus, a Cynic philosopher and satirist of the third century BC. <mask> wrote an admiring biography of the philosopher Demonax, who was a philosophical eclectic, but whose ideology most closely

texts:
 resembled Cynicism. Demonax's main divergence from the Cynics was that he did not disapprove of ordinary life. Paul Turner observes that <mask>'s Cynicus reads as a straightforward defense of Cynicism, but also remarks that <mask> savagely ridicules the Cynic philosopher Peregrinus in his Passing of Peregrinus.<mask> also greatly admired Epicurus, whom he describes in Alexander the False Prophet as "truly holy and prophetic". Later, in the same dialogue, he praises a book written by Epicurus:
What blessings that book creates for its readers and what peace, tranquillity, and freedom it engenders in them, liberating them as it does from terrors and apparitions and portents, from vain hopes and extravagant cravings, developing in them intelligence and truth, and truly purifying their understanding, not with torches and squills [i. e. sea onions] and that sort of foolery, but with straight thinking, truthfulness and frankness. <mask> had a generally negative opinion of Herodotus and his historiography, which he viewed as faulty. Works

Over eighty works attributed to <mask> have survived. These works belong to a diverse variety of styles and genres, and include comic dialogues, rhetorical essays, and prose fiction. <mask>'s writings were targeted towards a highly educated, upper-class Greek audience and make almost constant allusions to Greek cultural history, leading the classical scholar R. Bracht Branham to label <mask>'s highly sophisticated style "the comedy of tradition". By the time <mask>'s writings were rediscovered during the Renaissance, most of the works of literature referenced in them had been lost or forgotten, making it


texts:
 difficult for readers of later periods to understand his works.A True Story

<mask> was one of the earliest novelists in Western civilization. In A True Story (), a fictional narrative work written in prose, he parodies some of the fantastic tales told by Homer in the Odyssey and also the not-so-fantastic tales from the historian Thucydides. He anticipated modern science fiction themes including voyages to the moon and Venus, extraterrestrial life, interplanetary warfare, and artificial life, nearly two millennia before Jules Verne and H. G. Wells. The novel is often regarded as the earliest known work of science fiction. The novel begins with an explanation that the story is not at all "true" and that everything in it is, in fact, a complete and utter lie. The narrative begins with <mask> and his fellow travelers journeying out past the Pillars of Heracles. Blown off course by a storm, they come to an island with a river of wine filled with fish and bears, a marker indicating that Heracles and Dionysus have traveled to this point, and trees that look like women.Shortly after leaving the island, they are caught up by a whirlwind and taken to the Moon, where they find themselves embroiled in a full-scale war between the king of the Moon and the king of the Sun over colonization of the Morning Star. Both armies include bizarre hybrid lifeforms. The armies of the Sun win the war by clouding over the Moon and blocking out the Sun's light. Both parties then come to a peace agreement. <mask> then describes life on the Moon and how it is different from life on Earth. After returning to Earth, the adventurers are swallowed by a 200-mile-long

 whale, in whose belly they discover a variety of fish people, whom they wage war against and triumph over. They kill the whale by starting a bonfire and escape by propping its mouth open.Next, they encounter a sea of milk, an island of cheese, and the Island of the Blessed. There, <mask> meets the heroes of the Trojan War, other mythical men and animals, as well as Homer and Pythagoras. They find sinners being punished, the worst of them being the ones who had written books with lies and fantasies, including Herodotus and Ctesias. After leaving the Island of the Blessed, they deliver a letter to Calypso given to them by Odysseus explaining that he wishes he had stayed with her so he could have lived eternally. They then discover a chasm in the Ocean, but eventually sail around it, discover a far-off continent and decide to explore it. The book ends abruptly with <mask> stating that their future adventures will be described in the upcoming sequels, a promise which a disappointed scholiast described as "the biggest lie of all". Satirical dialogues
In his Double Indictment, <mask> declares that his proudest literary achievement is the invention of the "satirical dialogue", which was modeled on the earlier Platonic dialogue, but was comedic in tone rather than philosophical.The prolaliai to his Dialogues of the Courtesans suggests that <mask> acted out his dialogues himself as part of a comedic routine. <mask>'s Dialogues of the Dead () is a satirical work centering around the Cynic philosophers Diogenes of Sinope and his pupil Menippus, who lived modestly while they were alive and are now living comfortably in the abysmal conditions of

texts: the Underworld, while those who had lived lives of luxury are in torment when faced by the same conditions. The dialogue draws on earlier literary precursors, including the nekyia in Book XI of Homer's Odyssey, but also adds new elements not found in them. Homer's nekyia describes transgressors against the gods being punished for their sins, but <mask> embellished this idea by having cruel and greedy persons also be punished. In his dialogue The Lover of Lies (), <mask> satirizes belief in the supernatural and paranormal through a framing story in which the main narrator, a skeptic named Tychiades, goes to visit an elderly friend named Eukrates. At Eukrates's house, he encounters a large group of guests who have recently gathered together due to Eukrates suddenly falling ill. The other guests offer Eukrates a variety of folk remedies to help him recover.When Tychiades objects that such remedies do not work, the others all laugh at him and try to persuade him to believe in the supernatural by telling him stories, which grow increasingly ridiculous as the conversation progresses. One of the last stories they tell is "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", which the German playwright Johann Wolfgang von Goethe later adapted into a famous ballad. <mask> frequently made fun of philosophers and no school was spared from his mockery. In the dialogue Philosophies for Sale, <mask> creates an imaginary slave market in which Zeus puts famous philosophers up for sale, including Pythagoras, Diogenes, Heraclitus, Socrates, Chrysippus, and Pyrrho, each of whom attempts to persuade the customers to buy his philosophy. In The Banquet, or Lapiths, <mask> points


texts: out the hypocrisies of representatives from all the major philosophical schools. In The Fisherman, or the Dead Come to Life, <mask> defends his other dialogues by comparing the venerable philosophers of ancient times with their unworthy contemporary followers. <mask> was often particularly critical of people who pretended to be philosophers when they really were not and his dialogue The Runaways portrays an imposter Cynic as the antithesis of true philosophy.His Symposium is a parody of Plato's Symposium in which, instead of discussing the nature of love, the philosophers get drunk, tell smutty tales, argue relentlessly over whose school is the best, and eventually break out into a full-scale brawl. In Icaromenippus, the Cynic philosopher Menippus fashions a set of wings for himself in imitation of the mythical Icarus and flies to Heaven, where he receives a guided tour from Zeus himself. The dialogue ends with Zeus announcing his decision to destroy all philosophers, since all they do is bicker, though he agrees to grant them a temporary reprieve until spring. Nektyomanteia is a dialogue written in parallel to Icaromenippus in which, rather than flying to Heaven, Menippus descends to the underworld to consult the prophet Tiresias. <mask> wrote numerous dialogues making fun of traditional Greek stories about the gods. His Dialogues of the Gods () consists of numerous short vignettes parodying a variety of the scenes from Greek mythology. The dialogues portray the gods as comically weak and prone to all the foibles of human emotion.Zeus in particular is shown to be a "feckless ruler" and a serial adulterer. <mask> also wrote several


texts:
 other works in a similar vein, including Zeus Catechized, Zeus Rants, and The Parliament of the Gods. Throughout all his dialogues, <mask> displays a particular fascination with Hermes, the messenger of the gods, who frequently appears as a major character in the role of an intermediary who travels between worlds. The Dialogues of the Courtesans is a collection of short dialogues involving various courtesans. This collection is unique as one of the only surviving works of Greek literature to mention female homosexuality. It is also unusual for mixing <mask>'s characters from other dialogues with stock characters from New Comedy; over half of the men mentioned in Dialogues of the Courtesans are also mentioned in <mask>'s other dialogues, but almost all of the courtesans themselves are characters borrowed from the plays of Menander and other comedic playwrights. Treatises and letters

<mask>'s treatise Alexander the False Prophet describes the rise of Alexander of Abonoteichus, a charlatan who claimed to be the prophet of the serpent-god Glycon.Though the account is satirical in tone, it seems to be a largely accurate report of the Glycon cult and many of <mask>'s statements about the cult have been confirmed through archaeological evidence, including coins, statues, and inscriptions. <mask> describes his own meeting with Alexander in which he posed as a friendly philosopher, but, when Alexander invited him to kiss his hand, <mask> bit it instead. <mask> reports that, aside from himself, the only others who dared challenge Alexander's reputation as a true prophet were the Epicureans (whom he lauds as heroes) and the Christians. <mask>'s

texts: treatise On the Syrian Goddess is a detailed description of the cult of the Syrian goddess Atargatis at Hierapolis (now Manbij). It is written in a faux-Ionic Greek and imitates the ethnographic methodology of the Greek historian Herodotus, which <mask> elsewhere derides as faulty. For generations, many scholars doubted the authenticity of On the Syrian Goddess because it seemed too genuinely reverent to have really been written by <mask>. More recently, scholars have come to recognize the book as satirical and have restored its Lucianic authorship.In the treatise, <mask> satirizes the arbitrary cultural distinctions between "Greeks" and "Assyrians" by emphasizing the manner in which Syrians have adopted Greek customs and thereby effectively become "Greeks" themselves. The anonymous narrator of the treatise initially seems to be a Greek Sophist, but, as the treatise progresses, he reveals himself to actually be a native Syrian. Scholars dispute whether the treatise is an accurate description of Syrian cultural practices because very little is known about Hierapolis other than what is recorded in On the Syrian Goddess itself. Coins minted in the late fourth century BC, municipal decrees from Seleucid rulers, and a late Hellenistic relief carving have confirmed <mask>'s statement that the city's original name was Manbog and that the city was closely associated with the cults of Atargatis and Hadad. A Jewish rabbi later listed the temple at Hierapolis as one of the five most important pagan temples in the Near East. Macrobii ("Long-Livers") is an essay about famous philosophers who lived for many years. It describes how long each of them


texts: lived, and gives an account of each of their deaths.In his treatises Teacher of Rhetoric and On Salaried Posts, <mask> criticizes the teachings of master rhetoricians. His treatise On Dancing is a major source of information about Greco-Roman dance. In it, he describes dance as an act of mimesis ("imitation") and rationalizes the myth of Proteus as being nothing more than an account of a highly skilled Egyptian dancer. He also wrote about visual arts in Portraits and On Behalf of Portraits. <mask>'s biography of the philosopher Demonax eulogizes him as a great philosopher and portrays him as a hero of parrhesia ("boldness of speech"). In his treatise, How to Write History, <mask> criticizes the historical methodology used by writers such as Herodotus and Ctesias, who wrote vivid and self-indulgent descriptions of events they had never actually seen. Instead, <mask> argues that the historian never embellish his stories and should place his commitment to accuracy above his desire to entertain his audience.He also argues the historian should remain absolutely impartial and tell the events as they really happened, even if they are likely to cause disapproval. <mask> names Thucydides as a specific example of a historian who models these virtues. In his satirical letter Passing of Peregrinus (), <mask> describes the death of the controversial Cynic philosopher Peregrinus Proteus, who had publicly immolated himself on a pyre at the Olympic Games of AD 165. The letter is historically significant because it preserves one of the earliest pagan evaluations of Christianity. In the letter, one of <mask>'s characters delivers a speech ridiculing


texts:
 Christians for their perceived credulity and ignorance, but he also affords them some level of respect on account of their morality. In the letter Against the Ignorant Book Collector, <mask> ridicules the common practice whereby Near Easterners collect massive libraries of Greek texts for the sake of appearing "cultured", but without actually reading any of them. Pseudo-<mask>
Some of the writings attributed to <mask>, such as the Amores and the Ass, are usually not considered genuine works of <mask> and are normally cited under the name of "Pseudo-<mask>".The Ass () is probably a summarized version of a story by <mask>, and contains largely the same basic plot elements as The Golden Ass (or Metamorphoses) of Apuleius, but with fewer inset tales and a different ending. Amores is usually dated to the third or fourth centuries based on stylistic grounds. Legacy

Renaissance and Reformation

<mask>'s writings were mostly forgotten during the Middle Ages. The Suda, a tenth-century Byzantine encyclopedia, concludes that <mask>'s soul is burning in Hell for his negative remarks about Christians in the Passing of Peregrinus. <mask>'s writings were rediscovered during the Renaissance and almost immediately became popular with the Renaissance humanists. By 1400, there were just as many Latin translations of the works of <mask> as there were for the writings of Plato and Plutarch. By ridiculing plutocracy as absurd, <mask> helped facilitate one of Renaissance humanism's most basic themes.His Dialogues of the Dead were especially popular and were widely used for moral instruction. As a result of this popularity, <mask>'s writings had a profound

 influence on writers from the Renaissance and the Early Modern period. Many early modern European writers adopted <mask>'s lighthearted tone, his technique of relating a fantastic voyage through a familiar dialogue, and his trick of constructing proper names with deliberately humorous etymological meanings. During the Protestant Reformation, <mask> provided literary precedent for writers making fun of Catholic clergy. Desiderius Erasmus's Encomium Moriae (1509) displays Lucianic influences. Perhaps the most notable example of <mask>'s impact was on the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries was on the French writer François Rabelais, particularly in his set of five novels, Gargantua and Pantagruel, which was first published in 1532. Rabelais also is thought to be responsible for a primary introduction of <mask> to the French Renaissance and beyond through his translations of <mask>'s works.<mask>'s True Story inspired both Sir Thomas More's Utopia (1516) and Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels (1726). Sandro Botticelli's paintings The Calumny of Apelles and Pallas and the Centaur are both based on descriptions of paintings found in <mask>'s works. <mask>'s prose narrative Timon the Misanthrope was the inspiration for William Shakespeare's tragedy Timon of Athens and the scene from Hamlet with the gravediggers echoes several scenes from Dialogues of the Dead. Christopher Marlowe's famous verse "Was this the face that launched a thousand ships/And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?" is a paraphrase of a quote from <mask>. Francis Bacon called <mask> a "contemplative atheist". Early modern period

Henry Fielding, the author of The History of


texts: Tom Jones, a Foundling (1749), owned a complete set of <mask>'s writings in nine volumes.He deliberately imitated <mask> in his Journey from This World and into the Next and, in The Life and Death of Jonathan Wild, the Great (1743), he describes <mask> as "almost... like the true father of humour" and lists him alongside Miguel de Cervantes and Jonathan Swift as a true master of satire. In The Convent Garden Journal, Fielding directly states in regard to <mask> that he had modeled his style "upon that very author". Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux, François Fénelon, Bernard Le Bovier de Fontenelle, and Voltaire all wrote adaptations of <mask>'s Dialogues of the Dead. According to Turner, Voltaire's Candide (1759) displays the characteristically Lucianic theme of "refuting philosophical theory by reality". Voltaire also wrote The Conversation between <mask>, Erasmus and Rabelais in the Elysian Fields, a dialogue in which he treats <mask> as "one of his masters in the strategy of intellectual revolution". Denis Diderot drew inspiration from the writings of <mask> in his Socrates Gone Mad; or, the Dialogues of Diogenes of Sinope (1770) and his Conversations in Elysium (1780). <mask> appears as one of two speakers in Diderot's dialogue Peregrinus Proteus (1791), which was based on The Passing of Peregrinus.<mask>'s True Story inspired Cyrano de Bergerac, whose writings later served as inspiration for Jules Verne. The German satirist Christoph Martin Wieland was the first person to translate the complete works of <mask> into German and he spent his entire career adapting the ideas behind <mask>'s writings for a contemporary German audience.

Kataplous, or Downward Journey also served as the source for Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of the Übermensch or Overman. Nietzsche's declaration of a "new and super-human way of laughing – at the expense of everything serious!"echoes the exact wording of Tiresias's final advice to the eponymous hero of <mask>'s dialogue Menippus: "Laugh a great deal and take nothing seriously." Professional philosophical writers since then have generally ignored <mask>, but Turner comments that "perhaps his spirit is still alive in those who, like Bertrand Russell, are prepared to flavor philosophy with wit." Many modern classicists viewed <mask>'s works negatively. The German classicist Eduard Norden admitted that he had, as a foolish youth, wasted time reading the works of <mask>, but, as an adult, had come to realize that <mask> was nothing more than an "Oriental without depth or character... who has no soul and degrades the most soulful language".

<mask> (né Francesco Ezechiele Ermenegildo de Suppe) (18 April 181921 May 1895) was an Austrian composer of light operas and other theatre music. He came from the Kingdom of Dalmatia, Austro-Hungarian Empire (now part of Croatia). A composer and conductor of the Romantic period, he is notable for his four dozen operettas. Life and education
<mask>'s parents named him Francesco Ezechiele Ermenegildo when he was born on 18 April 1819 in Spalato, now Split, Dalmatia, Austrian Empire. His father was a civil servant in the service of the Austrian Empire, as was his father before him; Suppé's mother was Viennese by birth. He simplified and Germanized his name when in Vienna, and changed "de" to "<mask>". Outside Germanic circles, his name may appear on programmes as Francesco Suppé-Demelli.He spent his childhood in Zara, now Zadar, where he had his first music lessons and began to compose at an early age. As a boy he had encouragement in music from a local bandmaster and by the Zara cathedral choirmaster. His Missa dalmatica dates from this early period. As a teenager in Zara, Suppé studied flute and harmony. His first extant composition is a Roman Catholic mass, which premiered at a Franciscan church in Zara in 1835. From 1840 on he worked as a composer and conductor for <mask>, the director of several theaters in Vienna, Pressburg (now Bratislava), Ödenburg (now Sopron) and Baden bei Wien. In Vienna, after studying with Ignaz <mask>, he conducted in the theatre, with the opportunity to present his own operas there.Eventually, Suppé wrote music for over a

 hundred productions at the Theater in der Josefstadt as well as the Carltheater in Leopoldstadt, at the Theater an der Wien. He also put on some landmark opera productions, such as the 1846 production of Meyerbeer's Les Huguenots with Jenny Lind. <mask> <mask> died in Vienna on 21 May 1895 and is buried in the Zentralfriedhof. Works
Suppé composed about 30 operettas and 180 farces, ballets, and other stage works. Although the bulk of his operettas have sunk into relative obscurity, the overtures – particularly Dichter und Bauer (Poet and Peasant, 1846) and Leichte Kavallerie (Light Cavalry, 1866) – remain popular, many of them having been used in soundtracks for films, cartoons, advertisements, and so on, in addition to being frequently played at symphonic "pops" concerts. Some of the operettas are still regularly performed, notably Boccaccio, Die schöne Galathée and Fatinitza; while Peter Branscombe, writing in The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, characterizes Suppé's song "" as "Austria's second national song". Suppé retained links with his native Dalmatia, occasionally visiting Split (Spalato), Zadar (Zara), and Šibenik.Some of his works are linked with the region, in particular his operetta Des Matrosen Heimkehr, the action of which takes place in Hvar. After retiring from conducting, Suppé continued to write stage work, but increasingly shifted his interest to sacred music. He wrote a Requiem for theatre director <mask> (now very rarely heard); it was first performed on 22 November 1855, during Pokorny's memorial service; an oratorio,

Two of <mask>'s more ambitious operettas – Boccaccio and Donna Juanita – have been performed at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, but they failed to become repertoire works in the United States. Posthumous use
The descriptive nature of Suppé's overtures has earned them frequent use in numerous animated cartoons:

Ein Morgen, ein Mittag, ein Abend in Wien (Morning, Noon, and Night in Vienna) was the central subject of the 1959 Bugs Bunny cartoon Baton Bunny. Poet and Peasant appears in the Fleischer Studios 1935 Popeye cartoon The Spinach Overture and the Oscar nominated Walter Lantz film of the same title; the overture to Light Cavalry is used in Disney's 1942 Mickey Mouse cartoon Symphony Hour. The start of the cello solo (about one minute in) of the Poet and Peasant overture is nearly an exact match to the start of the folk song "I've Been Working on the Railroad", which was published in 1894.Turner Classic Movies runs a 1955 Cinemascope short of the MGM Symphony Orchestra turning in a vigorous performance of the overture. The Light Cavalry Overture was covered in electronic form by Gordon Langford on his 1974 album The Amazing Music of the Electronic Arp Synthesiser. of Die Frau Meisterin, 1868]
