Ambos os temas eram caros aos estóicos que são reconhecidamente aperfeiçoadores dessas idéias. Assim, o tema da ekpyrosis passa, de elemento astrológico e de cunho moral em Berossos para tornar-se apenas fenômeno natural 9ainda que entendido astrologicamente) em Sêneca e nos estóicos. O tema sugere uma origem comum à do fogo sagrado. ________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / This dissertation deals with the links between ekpyrosis, or final conflagration, and Hellenistic astrology. Both themes were dear to Stoic philosophers, who admittedly took them far beyond these origins. Thus, ekpyrosis turns, from astrological-moral theme to a mere natural phenomenon (albeit understood in astrological terms) in Seneca and the Stoics. The theme suggests a link to that of the sacred fire.
