Here is the first of a new two-volume edition of Seneca's tragedies." "Seneca's plots are based on mythical episodes, in keeping with classical tradition. But the political realities of imperial Rome are also reflected here, in an obsessive concern with power and dominion over others. Seneca's plays depict gigantic passions and intense interactions in an appropriately forceful rhetoric. Their perspective is much bleaker and more tragic than that of his prose writings. In this new translation John Fitch conveys the force of Seneca's dramatic language and the lyric quality of his choral odes." -- $c Jacket. 600 10 $a Seneca, Lucius Annaeus, $d approximately 4 B.C.-65 A.D. $t Tragedies. 650 0 $a Mythology, Classical $v Drama. 650 0 $a Latin drama (Tragedy) 700 1 $a Fitch, John G., $e translator. $e translator. 830 0 $a Loeb classical library ; $v 62, 78. 941 $a 3 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717030309.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718093115.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212024451.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8CB227E6961911E8A89F3E0097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
