Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Phaedra * Oedipus * Medea * Trojan Women * Hercules Furens * Thyestes Seneca's plays are the product of a sensational, frightening, and oppressive period of history. Tutor to the emperor Nero, Seneca lived through uncertain and violent times, and his dramas depict the extremes of human behaviour. Rape, suicide, child-killing, incestuous love, madness and mutilation afflict the characters, who are obsessed anddestroyed by their feelings. Passion is constantly set against reason, and passion wins out. Seneca forces us to think about the difference between compromise and hypocrisy, about what happens when emotions overwhelmjudgement, and about how, if at all, a person can be good, calm, or happy in a corrupt society and under constant threat of death. Seneca was one of the most prolific, versatile, and influential of all classical Latin writers, and the only tragic playwright from ancient Rome whose work survives. This new edition of his six best plays captures Seneca's style in a verse translation that is both lively and accurate. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years OxfordWorld's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book charts the diverse manifestations of one of the most enduring tales from ancient Greeceâ"the bloody feud between the brothers Atreus and Thyestes. The author traces the story's progression from its early incarnations in Greek mythology through its myriad retellings in Roman literature, medieval drama, and beyond, into the modern era. Along the way, this study reveals how creative minds across the centuries have reimagined and repurposed the tale's central themes of fratricide, revenge, and retribution. These diverse interpretations mirror the evolving moral and ethical values of their respective epochs, reflecting humanity's ongoing fascination with the darker aspects of the human condition.

First Edition
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Based on the legends used in Greek drama, Seneca's plays are notable for the exuberant ruthlessness with which disastrous events are foretold and then pursued to their tragic and often bloodthirsty ends. Thyestes depicts the menace of an ancestral curse hanging over two feuding brothers, while Phaedra portrays a woman tormented by fatal passion for her stepson. In The Trojan Women, the widowed Hecuba and Andromache await their fates at the hands of the conquering Greeks, and Oedipus follows the downfall of the royal House of Thebes. Octavia is a grim commentary on Nero's tyrannical rule and the execution of his wife, with Seneca himself appearing as an ineffective counsellor attempting to curb the atrocities of the emperor. Dramas by the classical playwright and philosopher are accompanied by a modern work to demonstrate the Roman's impact on the development of the tragedy.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'Time flits about on fickle wings, and fleeting Fortune offers no one guarantees' Living in Rome under Caligula and later a tutor to Nero, Seneca witnessed the extremes of human behaviour. His shocking and bloodthirsty plays not only reflect a brutal period of history but also show how guilt, sorrow, anger and desire lead individuals to violence. The hero of Hercules Insane saves his own family from slaughter, only to commit further atrocities when he goes mad. The horrifying death of Astyanax is recounted in Trojan Women, and Phaedra deals with forbidden love. In Oedipus a nervous man discovers himself, while Thyestes recounts the bitter family struggle for a crown. Of uncertain authorship, Octavia dramatizes Nero's divorce from his wife and her deportation. The only Latin tragedies to have survived complete, these plays are masterpieces of vibrant, muscular language and psychological insight. This vivid new translation renders the plays in prose and verse. The introduction examines Seneca's life, the influence of Stoic philosophy on his work, and his impact on early modern tragedy. Also included are prefaces to each play, a chronology, further reading and notes. Translated with an introduction and notes by R. SCOTT SMITH Living in Rome under Caligula and later a tutor to Nero, Seneca witnessed the extremes of human behaviour. His shocking and bloodthirsty plays not only reflect a brutal period of history but also show how guilt, sorrow, anger and desire lead individuals to violence.

Seller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an in-depth exploration of the tragic plays attributed to the Roman philosopher and statesman, Seneca. Seneca's literary endeavors are a product of the first century, a time when Roman literature was transitioning from the grandeur of the Augustan era to the more florid style of the Silver Age. The author thoroughly examines the evidence for and against the authenticity of these plays, ultimately concluding that Seneca, the philosopher, was also the author of Medea, Troades, Hercules Furens, Phaedra, and Thyestes. Stylistic and thematic analysis reveals the plays as a critique of the excesses of the imperial court. Seneca uses myth to depict the destructive, often fatal, effects of unrestrained passions and ambition. Within a broader literary context, these plays serve as a unique example of a Stoic philosopher utilizing tragic drama to convey his philosophical insights.
