Seneca wrote Stoic philosophical treatises, such as the Moral Letters to Lucilius, a series of essays which discuss a range of moral problems. He also wrote tragedies based on particularly bloody and vengeful episodes of Greek myth, such as Thyestes, in which a familial conflict leads to sons being served to their unwitting father as stew.
