Abstract
El personaje de Lucio Anneo Séneca (4 a. C-65 d. C) fue abordado por Julio Merino en sendas obras -la tragedia, Premio Nacional de Teatro Juan del Encina 1973 y lo que podría considerarse como novela histórica de Las cuatro columnas de Córdoba-, como parte de la semblanza emblemática de la ciudad andaluza, de donde ambos eran oriundos y de cuya riqueza multicultural siempre estuvo orgulloso el veterano periodista y escritor, quien asimismo, entre ambas fechas, ingresó en la Real Academia de Córdoba, de Ciencias, Bellas Letras y Nobles Artes, en un acto celebrado el 11 de diciembre de 1975, con un discurso que recreaba precisamente el “Vía crucis de un moralista que quiso meterse a político", recordando al ilustre cordobés como “escritor admirado, filósofo discutido y hombre casi desconocido, cuyo vía crucis pasa por el desconsuelo y la desesperanza, el triunfo y la gloria, el dolor y la amargura, y, por último, la gran liberación de su muerte".
The character of Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 BC-65 AD) was tackled by Julio Merino in two plays - the tragedy, winner of the Juan del Encina National Theatre Prize in 1973, and what could be considered the historical novel The Four Columns of Córdoba - as part of the emblematic portrait of the Andalusian city, where both were from and whose multicultural wealth the veteran journalist and writer was always proud of. Between these two dates, he also joined the Royal Academy of Sciences, Fine Arts and Fine Arts of Córdoba at a ceremony held on 11 December 1975, with a speech that recreated the "Via Crucis of a moralist who wanted to become a politician", remembering the illustrious Cordovan as "an admired writer, a controversial philosopher and an almost unknown man, whose Via Crucis passed through disconsolation and despair, triumph and glory, pain and bitterness, and finally, the great liberation of his death".
