Seneca's Writings on the Death of Her Sons

There's very little chance these are cornelia's words, cause we love to have some. The argument for it being something real would be that helooks her trying to influence her son's decision making. And i suppose the grief that an ideal roman woman should express upon the death of their child. She becomes a really useful exemplar for people like seneca. Seneca loves the fact that he can talk about her and admire her remarkable retort those who had tried to console her.
