| Nov 18, 2016 at 6:04 | comment | added | Adamant | Agreed, defining what you mean by science fiction is probably important for this question. Strictly speaking, such assumptions come into play whenever people use the science-fiction-genre tag, but they’re probably particularly important here. You may not consider the Epic of Gilgamesh to be sci-fi, for example. | |

| Nov 18, 2016 at 5:37 | comment | added | user14111 | @Jack No, that question was about science fiction stories in the Middle Ages, and the oldest science fiction story seems to be Lucian's "True History" from before the Middle Ages. Which someone posted, wrongly, as an answer to that other question. | |
