Nurses' prayers, philosophical otium, and fat pigs. Seneca ep. 60 versus Horace ep 1.4
Horace in ep. 1.4 opposes a sad, somehow Stoic Tibullus to himself as a happy, fat Epicurean. Seneca in ep. 60 blames a number of tenets of Epicureanism in its trivial acception (e.g. the love for easy life and good food), quoting a phrase from Sallust, and then in ep. 61 proposes Stoic way of life as the right life.
