Interesting...I was familiar with the guy called the pseudo Dionysus, but not with a pseudo Seneca😳 . As usual Mass, thank you for educating me.🙏

I have seen the movie. Though I thought it very good for artistic reasons, but it represents Seneca as hypocritical in death. Good art, bad history and bad philosophy. I have mixed feelings about recommending it to critical philosophers or historians unless they can appreciate good acting.

Yeah, the reviews have been unequivocally and uniformly bad.

Morton, oh, that’s unfortunate. The congregation was not inclusive enough to accommodate Stoics? Happy New Year to you as well!
