Roman Tragedy I: Meet Seneca the Younger, Not to Be Confused with Seneca the Elder

Stoicism meets tragedy.

Discussion Prompts
  1. Why does it make sense for a stoic philosopher to write tragedy?
  2. What play or plays are you most looking forward to?
  3. How do you think Seneca’s philosophy will impact how he tells myths that we’ve covered before?

I have a BA in History and Classical Civilization from Loyola University Chicago and an MPH from Western Michigan University. I've been a geometry teacher, a religion teacher, a writing tutor. I'm a writer, a knitter, a dancer, a singer, an actor. And, yes, for fun I like to reread everything that was assigned while getting my classics degree.
