It must be noted that Seneca though an eloquent and Roman philosopher in the classical sense derived his Stoic teachings from Zeno who was a jew frm the levant region called Elea. Stoicism as Revilo P Oliver said in "the origins of christianity" was one of the elements which made christianity(the anima mundi became 'yahweh'). I would advise people to read Oliver's book for more details on Stoicism and its jewish origins
