Seneca: On Festivals and Fasting | The School Of Stoicism |

Narrated by John Van Stan
Translated by Richard Mott Gummere The Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium, also known as Letters from a Stoic, is a collection of 124 letters that Seneca the Younger wrote at the end of his life, during his retirement. They are addressed to Lucilius Junior, the then procurator of Sicily, who is known only through Seneca's writings. Regardless of how Seneca and Lucilius actually corresponded, it is clear that Seneca crafted the letters with a broad readership in mind. The letters often begin with an observation on daily life, and then proceed to an issue or principle abstracted from that observation. The result is like a diary, or handbook of philosophical meditations. The letters focus on many traditional themes of Stoic philosophy such as the contempt of death, the stout-heartedness of the sage, and virtue as the supreme good.
