From the publisher
"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.
