Seneca's Oedipus is a work of exceptional historical and dramatic
interest. It is the only surviving ancient Roman play on one of the
most important and enduring myths of European intellectual history.
It is poetically experimental, intellectually complex, and
theatrically spectacular; its themes include the psychology of
guilt, fear and reason, the ethics and limits of power, the order
of fate and history, and the nature of tragic theatre. The impact
of Seneca's Oedipus on the European dramatic tradition has been
immense. This is the first full-scale critical edition with
commentary to appear in English. It aims to elucidate the text
dramatically as well as philologically, and to locate it firmly in
its historical and theatrical context and, since it is especially
attentive to the play's reception, in the ensuing literary and
dramatic tradition. The verse translation is designed for both
performance and serious study.
