This two-volume critical edition of Seneca's tragedies by Friedrich
Leo (1851-1914) was published in Berlin in 1878-1879. Seneca, the
first-century Roman philosopher, modelled his tragedies on the work
of Greek playwright Euripides. Leo argues that the tragedies were
in fact written for recitation only, and were not intended to be
performed, although they have been successfully staged in modern
times. A classical scholar of some distinction who later became a
full member of the Academy of Sciences in Goettingen, Leo's
critical edition of Seneca was published early in his career, while
he became better known for his later work on Roman poetry. Volume 2
contains the text of the six tragedies which have been definitively
attributed to Seneca, as well as Hercules Oetaeus and Octavia,
which resemble Seneca's style, but are more likely to have been
written by a disciple.
