Envied by Caligula, exiled by Claudius, and finally executed by his pupil Nero, Seneca the Younger wrote in a violent, epigrammatic and extreme style which has often seemed excessive to those living in calmer times. Yet Seneca was the most influential Classical dramatist upon the English Renaissance, inspiring Shakespeare, Chapman and Marlowe, to name but a few. This volume draws on the most significant translations dating from the Renaissance to the present day, and Ted Hughes' Oedipus.
