Seneca's Consolations
Seneca's Consolations refers to Seneca’s three Consolatory works, ''De Consolatione ad Marciam'', ''De Consolatione ad Polybium'', ''De Consolatione ad Helviam'', written around 40–45 AD.
==Context of the Consolations==
Seneca’s three Consolatory works, ''De Consolatione ad Marciam'', ''De Consolatione ad Polybium'', and ''De Consolatione ad Helviam Matrem'', were all constructed in the ''Consolatio'' Literary Tradition'', dating back to the fifth century BC. The Consolations are part of Seneca’s Treatises, commonly called Dialogues, or Dialogi.〔Costa, C.D.N. ''Seneca: Four Dialogues''. Aris and Phillips Ltd. England 1994〕 These works clearly contain essential principles of Seneca’s Stoic teachings. Although they are personal addresses of Seneca, these works are written more like essays than personal letter of consolation. Furthermore, although each essay is particular in its address of consolation, the tone of these works is notably detached. Seneca seems more preoccupied with presenting facts of the universe and the human condition instead of offering solace. This detachment may be a result of Seneca’s attempt to gain favor and contrive a return from exile through these Consolatio works, instead of merely offering a friendly hand of comfort.〔Scourfield, J. H. D. (''Consoling Heliodorus: a commentary on Jerome, Letter 60''. PAGES 15-22. ) Oxford UP, 1993. 19 July 2009. pp. 15–22.〕〔Baltussen, Han. ''"PERSONAL GRIEF AND PUBLIC MOURNING IN PLUTARCH'S CONSOLATION TO HIS WIFE."'' INTRODUCTION: BEGINNINGS OF CONSOLATION. ''American Journal of Philology'' 130 (2009): 67. July–Aug. 2009.〕
