The paradigm of eulogies about human dignity or indignity includes, with rhetorical variations, topoi authorized by the Greek and Latin tradition; amongst them, the topos of seeing life as a punishment, therefore it being better not being born ( optimum non nasci ) or dying as soon as possible. This study examines Sedeno’s interpretation of this topos in his Coloquio de bienaventuranza (1536), according to the humanistic discussions de miseria hominis . Sedeno recreates Solon’s reasoning, which stems from his interview with king Croesus (following Herodotus account), without resorting to the mystery of salvation or any other Christian beliefs, therefore highlighting the singularity of his viewpoint in the humanistic debate about human happiness.
