This edition of Seneca's Apocolocyntosis contains the authoritative translation of W.H.D. Rouse, complete with notes.

The Apocolocyntosis by Seneca is a satire aimed at the Roman Emperor Claudius. Together with Petronius's Satyricon, it holds the distinction of being the only surviving satire of the Menippean genre of classical antiquity.

The title is a play upon words, with the term "apotheosis", connoting the process in which dead Roman emperors were recognized as Gods.

Intended as a comedy, the play chronicles the death of the Emperor Claudius, and his rise toward the heavens. However, the Gods cast judgment that he should instead descend to Hades - a sentence which Claudius contests, by appealing to the God Hercules. Thereafter begins a drama in the divine court, wherein Claudius deeds are held up and examined by several figures in the Greek Pantheon. Unfortunately, the speeches of each of the Gods sitting at court have been lost to time, though the plot of the Apocolocyntosis survives.

Very sharp exposed corner! Easy to cut yourself.
Overall, this does exactly what I need it to but there is a sharp exposed corner that makes this a little difficult to use. One wrong swipe and I cut my face. If they rounded that corner off, it would be perfect. Just be very careful!

Does exactly what it says!
Let me preface this review by saying I am not a trend follower. Truth be told, I only watch animals in FB and Tiktok videos. That being said, I'm 43 and have hair growing on my face like I was dipped in a vat of testosterone. No lie - I look in the mirror and see the wires on my face trying to grow together to form a connection. As electric of a personality I am, it's no bueno for self esteem. I'd heard of dermaplaning, and have seen my friend use the razors with zero fear. She's whipping it around like it's a wand of wonder, and she looks and feels fantastic afterwards (yes, I grabbed her face to feel the difference - boundaries, I know). The one she buys is different than this one, and much more expensive. My maiden voyage was totally my fault. I had two too many glasses of fun juice and way too much confidence to weild a blade. I ended up with one shorter eyebrow and a couple of cheek slices that required a little more than light compression. Luckily, I was going to a rock concert the next day, so I couldn't have planned the snafu at a better time. When I tried again, with zero caffeine and hydrated to the max, it was an absolutely amazing result. I used a thin layer of coconut oil because I didn't have aloe (reviews). Not only did everything get smooth (seriously couldn't stop touching myself), but I realized I should use coconut oil more often. I even think after some practice I won't be afraid to cut my jugular because I hiccup or sneeze. This product is 100% worth the low price, just as long as you're sober, experienced, or willing to bleed out.

Removing Peach-Fuzz from your face :)
Before I ordered this item I did not know how important it would be to remove peach puzz from my face. By removing the tiny peach fuzz from my face, I am creating the smoothest possible surface for my skin, and for my makeup. I never truly understood this until I tried this method & saw the amazing results. (Being vision impaired, I also never really saw how much peach fuzz a normal human being has... until I used this item.) I highly recommend this item for anyone who wants to take care of their complexion and how their makeup and skin looks on a daily basis. I still can't believe it, but it's a real game changer! (Oh & by the way, these things fold in half, so the blade is covered and it can be carried in your makeup purse without any danger to you.) Enjoy!! 💖 XO

Cut my face
I’ve tried several brands of derma blades in recent years. This is the first one that cut my face in several places. It definitely thoroughly removed facial hair and exfoliated well but be careful. It also felt a little cheap and too lightweight which made it difficult to maneuver.
