An important and often overlooked letter which one should ruminate upon thoroughly "Men who have made these discoveries before us are not our masters but our guides."
This is one of my favourite letters from Seneca ....you made me smile with this narration and great job as always Vox Stoica .....when are you cracking on with rest of your letter series ? Written in the year of covid 19....September 2020 farewell friend
This was a fucking nightmare to read in the actual translation. It's like it is translated to be harder to understand, just so the translator can show off their endless supply of elite English vocabulary
Yea strange how fashions change. I suppose it would be like a man wearing tights today. Aulus Gellius (130-180AD) - ATTIC NIGHTS - Book VI: "for a man to wear tunics coming below the arms and as far as the wrists, and almost to the fingers, was considered unbecoming in Rome and in Latium. Such tunics our countrymen called by the Greek name chiridotae [long-sleeved], and they thought that for women only, a long and full flowing garment was not unbecoming, to hide their arms and legs from sight.

This is gold
Seriously though, has Donald Glover seen this? His favorite comes up so many times in these letters.

Wearing long sleeve shirts is now effeminate? Time to cite Seneca as credit to cyber bully my friends.
Great vid.
