He became famous in rhetoric, philosophy, money-making, and imperial service. After some disgrace during Claudius' reign he became tutor and then, in 54 CE, advising minister to Nero, some of whose worst misdeeds he did not prevent. Involved (innocently?) in a conspiracy, he killed himself by order in 65. Wealthy, he preached indifference to wealth; evader of pain and death, he preached scorn of both; and there were other contrasts between practice and principle. We have Seneca's philosophical or moral essays (ten of them traditionally called Dialogues)--on providence, steadfastness, the happy life, anger, leisure, tranq. 606 $aRome$vPoetry 606 $aPoetry 615 0$aRome 615 0$aPoetry. 676 $a871.01 700 $aSeneca$07130 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996214861603316 996 $aEpistles$9973806 997 $aUNISA
