Gegenwind für Seneca
„Wer den Hafen nicht kennt, in den er segeln will, für den ist kein Wind der richtige“, sagte einst Seneca und ich meine, er irrt.
Wer schonmal an einer harten Kreuz lag, weil er dringend irgendwohin segeln musste, meist zurück, der weiss — im Gegenteil: könnte ich mir die Richtung aussuchen, wär fast jeder Wind der Richtige.
Nicht umsonst gibt es den Weisheit-Gegenentwurf meiner Omi: „Nimm di nix voer, dann sleiht di nix fehl“.
So wird n Schuh draus, äh n Kurs

Agapitos and van Cranenburgh use computational #stylometry to show that while 'Octavia' and 'Hercules Oetaeus' were largely written by #Seneca, a closer analysis of the text segments reveals signs of mixed #authorship. https://doi.org/10.48694/jcls.3919 #CLS #CCLS24 #Classics #AuthorshipVerification
This is our big mistake: to think we look forward to death. Most of death is already gone. Whatever time has passed is owned by death.
— Seneca
