[edit] "Dritte Stoa"
The Dritte Stoa and the Thomas von Kienperg articles appear to be vanity pages. Just take a look at them. The book by von Kienperg is self-published, and a search of his name shows only his own webpages, places selling his book, and copies of Wikipedia pages. Thoughts? --Quadalpha 21:54, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
I have spend some time reading the various texts on the [1] web site as well as on [2]. The link to the Dritte Stoa web site should definitely be removed. Neither that nor the web site of this Kienperg character has anything to do with Seneca, except the name "stoa" and a few references. These self-taught megalomaniacs (referring to themselves as "Meister der Dritten Stoa") should not be allowed to promote their web sites here. But take a look at the Dritte Stoa web site for a quite nauseating experience. If they knew just a bit of latin, they would have "concedite meliori" instead of "concede meliori" as their motto - the latter is simply wrong. Maybe they should start paying attention to the things they publish on their site, notably: ""Sei begierig zu lernen und nicht zu reden! Kleobulos von Lindos".
The "man", who wrote that above, has been talking the words of sheer envy, which not even could understand "concede meliori": "Concede, Thersites, meliori, qui ne pessimus quidem sis!" He never read Seneca nor understood anything of Stoic philosophy.
Yes, obviously! Mister anonymous (yes, you, who spent some time ... ), take a lesson in latin!
[edit] Reference deleted
The reference to the study on Hippolytus is not at all relevant here. It is a comparative study (on two authors besides Seneca)only of the Hippolytus theme. The bibliography on Seneca is not of any interest (14 titles mainly on Seneca's Hippolytus).83.119.60.149 20:27, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Should there be a link?
I'm currently looking for information on Seneca's death. Would anyone happen to know in what book by Tacitus Seneca dies?
[edit] Works
I think we really need some links to Seneca's works. Wikisource has nothing, Project Gutenberg only has 2. If anyone else knows where else to find some, please add them! -Elizabennet 02:29, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Pseudo-Seneca
The bronze bust illustrated here now has its own article. It appears to illustrate Hesiod. I feel that it should be dropped here. The authentic inscribed Roman bust of Seneca, known since 1813, is in the Staatliche Museen, Berlin. Maybe a Berlin Wikipedian will get a good photo of that one. --Wetman 12:44, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
