Anger, Mercy, Revenge
Archival Summary & Scope
*The Complete Works of Lucius Annaeus Seneca* presents a seven-volume series of new English translations, edited by Elizabeth Asmis, Shadi Bartsch, and Martha C. Nussbaum. This collection restores Seneca (4 BCE–65 CE)—Roman Stoic philosopher, dramatist, statesman, and adviser to Emperor Nero—to his rightful place among widely studied classical writers.This volume, *Anger, Mercy, Revenge*, gathers three key works: the moral essays *On Anger* and *On Clemency* (written as advice for the young Nero), and *Apocolocyntosis*, a brilliant satire on Claudius's reign. These pieces showcase Seneca’s complex voice, blending serious counsel, poetic reflection, and comic wit.
