Moral Letters to Lucilius, Volume III (Letters 93–124)
Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium
Translated by Richard M. Gummere (1925)
Letters 93 to 124 of the series Seneca wrote in his last years to his friend Lucilius: on the quality rather than the length of life, precepts and doctrines, grief for the dead, the soul’s immortality, the corporeality of virtue, the style that mirrors character, and the nature of the good.
