Cape Cod Today presents some Cape-based blogs in a short article called "Blogeto, Ergo Sum." The connected list with short descriptions includes "Cape Seneca":
Cape Seneca has lived on the lower Cape since 1964. His nom de plume Seneca is a tribute to the Roman dramatist, philosopher, & politician (4 BC - 65 AD.) who served as tutor to the young Nero. When the boy became Emperor in 54 AD, he retained Seneca as his advisor, and for several years, Seneca exerted a calming influence on the young emperor. After he retired in AD 62, however, he lost favor with his former pupil, and in AD 65, he was accused of conspiring against Nero and was forced to commit suicide.
I don't see any classical posts, however. Oh, and on that list of blogs there's also a "Carpe Diem" and a "Solon"...ah, but the references are simply references...
