Should I Stay or Should I Go? Seneca on Crowds
Details
What effects do crowds have on our character?
In his Letter to Lucilius (7), Seneca addresses this question and also gives some interesting historical details about the games in ancient Rome. Join us for this important conversation. We will be on Zoom, and the link is posted closer to the meeting time.
We'll provide excerpts for discussion- but here are two links to online versions if you'd like to read ahead (note, this letter is about the games and can be graphic!).
