Scipion unennäkö
Translated by K. J. Hidén
"Scipion unennäkö" by Marcus Tullius Cicero is a philosophical dialogue written in the first century BC. In a dream vision, Roman general Scipio Aemilianus meets his deceased grandfather and journeys through the cosmos, witnessing Earth's insignificance among nine celestial spheres. He hears the music of the spheres and learns about virtue, duty, and the soul's immortal destiny. This cosmological tale explores humanity's place in the universe from a Stoic perspective, blending astronomy with philosophical reflection.
