Dying Every Day: Seneca at the Court of Nero

James Romm
Samuel SukatonSamuel Sukaton

@DonJRobertson James Romm's Dying Every Day suggests that much of Seneca's work is oriented to justify his in/action in the age of Nero - while he absolutely intended for his work to be read widely, I suspect his use alongside Paul would be confusing to him.

Chris Matthews
Samuel SukatonSamuel Sukaton

@OrganizerMemes No. Chris Matthews can be whack as hell, but I read this line from Hardball at 17 and it hits: "Once you've served, it's impossible to deny whom you've served." You don't always get to work for your faves, but there's no reason to work somebody who you *don't* want to win.
