About Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Lucius Annaeus Seneca, commonly known as Seneca the Younger, was a Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, and playwright born around 4 BCE in Corduba (present-day Córdoba, Spain). He served as an advisor to Emperor Nero but fell out of favor and was ultimately forced to take his own life in 65 CE. His works, including essays and letters, explore themes of ethics, virtue, and the nature of happiness, making him a key figure in the development of Stoic philosophy.
