Seneca's three Consolatory works, De Consolatione ad Marciam, De Consolatione ad Polybium, and De Consolatione ad Helviam Matrem, were all constructed in the Consolatio Literary Tradition, dating back to the fifth century BC. Although they are personal addresses of Seneca, these works are written more like essays than personal letters of consolation. In De Consolatione ad Helviam Matrem, Seneca writes his mother to console her on his recent exile to Corsica. De Consolatione ad Marciam ("On Consolation to Marcia") is a work by Seneca written around 40 AD. Like Seneca's other Consolatory works, this Consolation is constructed in the Consolatio tradition, and takes the form of an essay versus a personal letter.
