Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger (/ ˈ s ɛ n ɪ k ə / SEN-ik-ə; c. 4 BC – AD 65), [1] usually known mononymously as Seneca, was a Stoic philosopher of Ancient Rome, a statesman, dramatist, and in one work, satirist, from the post-Augustan age of Latin literature.
Seneca the Elder is the first of the gens Annaea of whom there is definite knowledge. [1] During the renaissance his name and his works became confused with his son Lucius Annaeus Seneca. [2] In the early 16th century Raphael of Volterra saw that there must be two different men.
Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium (Latin for "Moral Letters to Lucilius"), also known as the Moral Epistles and Letters from a Stoic, is a letter collection of 124 letters that Seneca the Younger wrote at the end of his life, during his retirement, after he had worked for the Emperor Nero for more than ten years.
Double Herm of Socrates and Seneca (Antikensammlung Berlin) Senecan tragedy refers to a set of ten ancient Roman tragedies, [1] eight of which were probably written by the Stoic philosopher and politician Lucius Annaeus Seneca. [2] Senecan tragedy, much like any particular type of tragedy, had specific characteristics to help classify it.
Thyestes is a first century AD fabula crepidata (Roman tragedy with Greek subject) of approximately 1112 lines of verse by Lucius Annaeus Seneca, which tells the story of Thyestes, who unwittingly ate his own children who were slaughtered and served at a banquet by his brother Atreus. [1]
Phaedra is a Roman tragedy written by philosopher and dramatist Lucius Annaeus Seneca before 54 A.D. Its 1,280 lines of verse tell the story of Phaedra, wife of King Theseus of Athens and her consuming lust for her stepson Hippolytus.
While Euripides' Medea shares similarities with Seneca’s version, they are also different in significant ways. Seneca's Medea was written after Euripides', and arguably his heroine shows a dramatic awareness of having to grow into her (traditional) role. [7] Seneca opens his play with Medea herself expressing her hatred of Jason and Creon.
The work is addressed to a man called Paulinus—probably Pompeius Paulinus, a knight of Arelate—and is usually dated to around 49 AD. It is clear from chapters 18 and 19 of De Brevitate Vitae that Paulinus was praefectus annonae, the official who superintended the grain supply of Rome, and was, therefore, a man of importance.
