About Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Lucius Annaeus Seneca, often known simply as Seneca, was a prominent Roman philosopher, statesman, and playwright born around 4 BCE in Corduba (modern-day Córdoba, Spain) and raised in Rome. A leading figure of Stoicism, his works, including essays and letters, explore themes of ethics, morality, and the nature of the human experience, influencing both ancient and modern thought. Despite his philosophical insights, Seneca's life was marked by political intrigue, including his tumultuous relationship with Emperor Nero, which ultimately led to his forced suicide in 65 CE.
