"Apocolocyntosis" is a satirical work by Lucius Seneca, characterized by deep philosophical undertones and sharp humor. Written in the form of a dialogue, the fairy-tale events unfold in the kingdom of Inferno, where the paradoxical resurrection of the Roman emperor Claudius to divine status takes place. In his work, the author reveals the injustice of tyranny and the deep grievance undertones of the community of the Roman Empire. At the same time, the book alternates sharp satirical statements with philosophical reflections on universal human values and power. "Apocolocyntosis" leaves the reader under the impression of a masterful combination of sharp satire with a deep philosophical background.
