Description
The Roman Stoic, playwright, orator, political advisor, and moral philosopher Lucius Annaeus Seneca was one of the most prolific writers in ancient times. His moral letters have had a particularly far-reaching effect throughout history, and still today they are among the most widely read philosophical writings. Now, join poet, musician, and philosopher Simon Drew as he returns to Seneca's epistles and explores their real value for the modern seeker.
