Kaster -- Translator's introduction -- On clemency -- The pumpkinification of Claudius the god / translated by Martha C. Nussbaum -- Translator's introduction -- The pumpkinification of Claudius the god.Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 BCE-65 CE) was a Roman Stoic philosopher, dramatist, statesman, and adviser to the emperor Nero, all during the Silver Age of Latin literature. The Complete Works of Lucius Annaeus Seneca is a fresh and compelling series of new English-language translations of his works in eight accessible volumes. Edited by world-renowned classicists Elizabeth Asmis, Shadi Bartsch, and Martha C. Nussbaum, this engaging collection restores Seneca-whose works have been highly praised by modern authors from Desiderius Erasmus to Ralph Waldo Emerson-to his rightful place among the classical writers most widely studied in the humanities. Anger, Mercy, Revenge comprises three key writings: the moral essays On Anger and On Clemency-which were penned as advice for the then young emperor, Nero-and the Apocolocyntosis, a brilliant satire lampooning the end of the reign of Claudius. Friend and tutor, as well as philosopher, Seneca welcomed the age of Nero in tones alternately serious, poetic, and comic-making Anger, Mercy, Revenge a work just as complicated, astute, and ambitious as its author.Complete Works of Lucius Annaeus SenecaPHILOSOPHY / Generalbisacshclassics, classical, literature, literary, ethics, morality, morals, lucius annaeus seneca, roman stoic philosopher, philosophy, sliver age, translations, translated, anger, clemency, apocolocyntosis, advice, emperor nero, satire, satirist, criticism, interpretation, pumpkinification of claudius the god, younger, post-augustan, ancient stoicism, art.PHILOSOPHY / General.878/.0109Seneca Lucius Annaeusca. 4 B.C.-65 A.D.7130Kaster Robert A326432Seneca Lucius Annaeusca. 4 B.C.-65 A.D.7130Seneca Lucius Annaeusca. 4 B.C.-65 A.D.7130Seneca Lucius Annaeusca. 4 B.C.-65 A.D.7130Nussbaum Martha C(Martha Craven),1947-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785047003321Anger, mercy, revenge3680808UNINA
