    Boethius’s Consolation of Philosophy

    09:28Boethius’s Consolation of Philosophy
    • AD, Boethius' fortune ran out. There was a knock at the door and a gang of Theodoric's guards accused him, quite falsely, of having plotted against the increasingly paranoid and vengeful king. With scarcely time to say goodbye to his family, Boethius was carted off to prison. Entirely innocent but also aware of the risk he was in, Boethius fell into despair. In a tiny cell, he contemplated his rapid fall from grace, his love for his family and the unfairness of his destiny. What would eventually lift his spirits and at the same time gift humanity one of its greatest works of prison literature of any time or place, was his decision to think his way, philosophically, out of his sorrows.
