Lucius Annaeus Seneca
1984
Translated by W. H. D. (William Henry Denham) Rouse
Subjected to a mocking trial in the afterlife, where he faces the consequences of his actions through unjust punishment, ending with him perpetually shaking dice in a bottomless box—a metaphor for his futile grasp on power. Through this comedic lens, Seneca critiques the nature of rule and legacy, contrasting divine aspirations against a backdrop of human folly.
