Phaedrus
15 BC - He was born on the Pierian Mountain, but he seems to have been brought at an early age to Italy.
- He incurred the wrath of Sejanus, the powerful minister of Tiberius, by some supposed allusions in his fables, and was brought to trial and punished.
41 BC - 43 BC - The dates of their publication are unknown, but Seneca, writing, knows nothing of Phaedrus, and it is probable that he had not yet published anything.
AD 50 - The year that Phaedrus died.
