About this edition

A complete edition of the surviving works of Lucius Annaeus Seneca (c. 4 BC – AD 65), translated in a single voice with the Latin alongside.

What's here

Everything Seneca the Younger left — the ten tragedies, the Apocolocyntosis, and the philosophical prose (the Dialogues and consolations, On Mercy, On Benefits, the Moral Letters, and the Natural Questions) — translated from the Latin and arranged as he wrote them, with a headnote, an optional Latin-parallel toggle, and a named-entity glossary throughout.

From the Latin

Every translation was produced by reading the Latin text directly, not by copying or adapting any prior edition. The Latin comes from open scholarly sources.

How to use this

The Works index lists every work by genre; open any to read. The chronology places Seneca's life and works on a timeline. The glossary is the named-entity registry. Search spans the whole corpus.
