Description



About the Book



Apocolocyntosis depicts a posthumous trial in which the recently deceased Emperor Claudius makes the case for his elevation to the company of the gods.



Book Synopsis



"I know the same day made me free, which was the last day for him who made the proverb true--One must be born either a Pharaoh or a fool." Best known as a philosopher and tragedian, in Apocolocyntosis Seneca also produced one of classical literature's greatest satires. Depicting a posthumous trial in which the recently deceased Emperor Claudius makes the case for his elevation to the company of the gods, this short work brilliantly skewers the pretensions and corruptions of power.

Eris Gems make available in the form of beautifully produced saddle-stitched booklets a series of outstanding short works of fiction and non-fiction.



About the Author



The writer and politician Seneca the Younger (c. 4 BCE-65 CE) was one of the most influential figures in the philosophical school of thought known as Stoicism. He was notoriously condemned to death by enforced suicide by the Emperor Nero.
