This collection is based on the required reading list of Yale Department of Classics. Originally designed for students, this anthology is meant for everyone eager to know more about the history and literature of this period, interested in poetry, philosophy and rhetoric of Ancient Rome. Latin literature is a natural successor of Ancient Greek literature. The beginning of Classic Roman literature dates to 240 BC. From that point on, Latin literature would flourish for the next six centuries. Latin was the language of the ancient Romans, but it was also the lingua franca of Western Europe throughout the Middle Ages. Consequently, Latin Literature outlived the Roman Empire and it included European writers who followed the fall of the Empire, from religious writers like Aquinas, to secular writers like Francis Bacon, Baruch Spinoza, and Isaac Newton. This collection presents all the major Classic Roman authors, including Cicero, Virgil, Ovid and Horace whose work intrigues and fascinates readers until this day.

Стоицизм – философская школа, возникшая в Афинах ок.300 г. до н. э. во времена раннего эллинизма и сохранившая влияние вплоть до конца античного мира. Стоицизм процветал во всем римском и греческом мире до III века нашей эры. Видными представителями стоицизма в Древнем Риме были Луций Анней Сенека, Эпиктет и император Марк Аврелий. Стоицизм пережил упадок после того, как христианство стало государственной религией в IV веке нашей эры. С тех пор он пережил пробуждения, особенно в эпоху Возрождения (неостоицизм) и в современную эпоху (современный стоицизм). Луций Анней Сенека. Нравственные письма к Луцилию. Избранные афоризмы Эпиктет. В чем наше благо. Афоризмы Марк Аврелий. Наедине с собой. Размышления

Сенека – один из главных учителей жизни для множества поколений читателей. Но кроме того, он один из самых проницательных психологов древности. Сенеку-писателя в России узнали благодаря блестящему переводу «Нравственных писем к Луцилию», выполненному Сергеем Александровичем Ошеровым. Нашей задачей было представить Сенеку как мастера афоризма, поэтому некоторые цитаты даны в сокращенном виде. Названия его трактатов унифицированы. Сведения об источниках переводов приведены в конце книги.

Juno, wife of Jove (Jupiter) is jealous of Alcmene, mother of Hercules by Jove, and has been persecuting Hercules by imposing labours on him, through her intermediary, the tyrant Eurystheus.The final labour, which Hercules has just completed, was the bringing up of Cereberus, the three-headed watchdog of the Underworld, up to the world above. To do this, Hercules has achieved the astonishing feat, never before accomplished, of returning from the realm of Death. Juno has now decided that sine labours cannot break Hercules, she will turn his own strength against him, by driving him mad when he returns to his home town of Thebes. In his madness, he will commit atrocities that will preclude his ascension into Heaven, which Juno is determined to prevent. This classic story is Ranjit Bolt's translation of Seneca’s poetic tale, which reveals the passion for rhetoric that was to have such a strong influence on Elizabethan drama and particularly on Marlowe and the young Shakespeare.

Луций Анней Сенека – крупнейший римский философ, первый представитель стоицизма в Древнем мире. Особую роль в формировании взглядов философа сыграл древнегреческий мыслитель Посидоний. В свою очередь, нравственная позиция и система ценностей Сенеки оказали сильное влияние на его современников и последующие поколения. В сборник вошли избранные «Нравственные письма к Луцилию», трагедии «Медея», «Федра», «Эдип», «Фиэст», «Агамемнон» и «Октавия» и философский трактат «О счастливой жизни».
