Oh dear... Lucius Annaeus Seneca, aka Seneca the Younger, did indeed
write a tragedy entitled the Madea.

Don't for one second believe that I had a "classical education".
Nevertheless, here's some "light reading" from him via WAIX

After a lot of reading, you may appreciate the conjunction of the
following two quotes from the same Seneca:

	"A great mind becomes a great fortune."
and	"A great fortune is a great slavery."

OOPS!
