Seneca, Lucius Annaeus

Seneca, Lucius Annaeus
(4–65)
Roman statesman and a trenchant expositor of Stoicism . His principal ethical writings are the Epistolae Morales (‘Moral Letters’), an early literary exploitation of the letter form. He enjoyed a hectic career, which included banishment to Corsica for adultery with Julia Livilla, the niece of the emperor Claudius; his forced suicide provided an influential model of Stoicism in action.
