Seneca

Major worksLetters from a Stoic, Moral Essays, Tragedies, Natural Questions

The Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, and tragedian who served as tutor and advisor to the emperor Nero before being forced to take his own life. His essays and letters on anger, mortality, and the good life made Stoicism intensely practical and personal, while his blood-soaked tragedies left a deep mark on Renaissance drama, Shakespeare among its heirs.
