Sidequest 18 - Dr. Liz Gloyn Discusses Seneca and his Stoic Philosophy

As I mentioned on an earlier episode, I've been wanting to put together a series of episodes about what we collectively consider to be significant works from Antiquity. One such work is Seneca's Letters. Fortunately, I was able to find Dr. Liz Gloyn who is an expert on Seneca. She stopped by to talk about Seneca's letters, his Stoic origin story and how he ended up in the proximity of the imperial court. Dr. Gloyn also covers some of Seneca's other writings which we should all take a look at and we discuss her upcoming project. (Don't forget to check out her book which I linked to above!)

Your reading assignments include Love At First Spite and Spoiler Alert.

The theme music is from Brent Arehart. Please call the pod (540-632-0160), leave a message and you’ll get in an episode. Let me know what you think about what we think in the comments.

And never forget that The Classical Antiquity Sidequest is a podcast without end.
