À propos de l'auteur

Seneca, a prominent Stoic philosopher, statesman, and dramatist, was born around 4 BC in Córdoba, Hispania. He became one of the most influential intellectual figures of the Roman Empire, known for his works on ethics, morality, and the human condition. His philosophical writings, including the 'Epistulae Morales' and various essays, explore themes of virtue, the nature of happiness, and the importance of reason. Seneca's tragedies, such as 'Phaedra' and 'Thyestes,' demonstrate his mastery of dramatic structure and character development, reflecting the emotional complexity of his characters and the moral dilemmas they face.
