What is the most meta ancient book you know of? If any at all?

I know Aristophanes' comedies broke the 4th wall quite frequently

"Lessons of History" maybe, it's quite meta in searching what studying history actually teaches people other than random facts

That sounds like a fun book to both read and write.

it's only about 100 pages, one can read it during a single afternoon.
The authors studied history for 50 years each before writing it and won a pulitzer prize for their work.
Most importantly though they would agree with /pol/ on every issue except for race.

Aristophanes is good, his play Clouds gives a great outside perspective on Socrates and the Sophists.

Tons of Greek plays. The fourth wall didn't really exist back then, it had to be invented.

theres that legend about a book ordered by solomon from a scribe of his, tho solomon messed with demons and shit so the scribe could of been something other than human in some versions, but the story works better if hes just a regular dude, anyway hes ordered to discover the meaning of life and write it down and elaborate in a book, so he goes of and travels for some decades, and finaly he finishes the book, and apparently he goes way way deep down the rabit hole cause anyone who reads the book goes mad and dies

think the name is uskebashi, for some reason hes depicted as riding a white rabit

the egiptian book of the dead, or the book of exiting in daytime or whatever its original name was, is interesting cause its a ascencion by proxy, its written like a script, where the narative is the rising of the individuals self into heaven, but written so that the reader, whos basicaly dead and burried with the book, reads his own part out in the narative, trough evocations and litanies, as if ritualy enacting it, so that basicaly the reader is the protagonist, its written so that whoever reads it affirms and identifies his self as the i am that is god, ascending to heaven
