		Lucio Annéo Seneca, figlio di Seneca il Vecchio, nacque in Spagna, a Cordova, nel 4 AC, da una ricca famiglia equestre e fu educato a Roma nelle scuole filosofiche e retoriche, in vista della carriera politica.
		Seneca, proponendo ogni volta un nuovo tema, semplice e di apprendimento immediato, alla meditazione dell'amico discepolo, lo guida al perfezionamento interiore (per lo stesso motivo, nei primi tre libri, Seneca conclude ogni lettera con una sentenza che offre uno spunto di meditazione).
		Seneca parla delle norme cui il saggio si deve attenere, della sua indipendenza e autosufficienza, della sua indifferenza alle seduzioni mondane e del suo disprezzo per le opinioni correnti e propone l'ideale di una vita indirizzata al raccoglimento e alla meditazione, al perfezionamento interiore mediante un'attenta riflessione sulle debolezze e i vizi propri e altrui.

	Seneca's Career and Works
		Lucius Annaeus Seneca, the most brilliant figure of his time, was the second son of the great rhetorician of that name, and, like him, a native of Corduba in Spain.
		Seneca is one of the most eminent among the Latin writers of the silver age, and in a special sense their representative, not least because he was the originator of a false style.
		Seneca had the wit to discover that conduct, which is, after all, "three-forths of life," could furnish inexhaustible topics of abiding and universal interest, far superior to the imaginary themes discussed in the schools of philosophy.

	About the Book - OEDIPUS OF LUCIUS ANNAEUS SENECA - Translated and Adapted by Michael Rutenberg, 1999.
		Lucius Annaeus Seneca’s Oedipus, freely adapted by Professor Michael Elliot Rutenberg, is the first translation of this Roman tragedy to interpolate excerpts from Seneca’s moral philosophies into the text.
		This juxtaposition of Seneca’s calm, rational thought with the passionate, highly theatrical language of his play, creates an exciting synergy of powerful emotional and intellectual appeal.
		For Seneca, we may not always be in control of what happens to us, but we have the capacity to control our response to it.

		During the civil wars (which kept him in Spain and thus prevented him from ever hearing Cicero speak) his sympathies, like those of his native place, were probably with Pompey, as were those of his son and his grandson (the poet Lucan).
		By his wife Helvia of Corduba he had three sons: L. Annaeus Novatus, adopted by his father's friend, the rhetorician Junius Gallio, and subsequently called L. Junius Gallio; L. Annaeus Seneca, the philosopher; Annaeus Mela, the father of the poet Lucan.
		Seneca was also the author of a lost historical work, containing the history of Rome from the beginning of the civil wars almost down to his own death, after which it was published by his son.

	Lucius Annaeus Seneca: The Trojan Women
		The extent of Seneca's importance to the tragic drama of the time is obvious from even the single fact that plays of the period, including ones by Jonson and Marlowe, contain quotations from Seneca in Latin, as well as long speeches which are more or less adaptations of ones in Seneca's works.
		Seneca is not the only writer to have written plays in which the poetry is of a higher standard than the drama.
		A second inheritance from Seneca seems to me (and I am no expert) to be a license to use the most extreme subject matter.
