The first of two volumes collecting the complete tragedies of
Seneca. Edited by world-renowned classicists Elizabeth Asmis, Shadi
Bartsch, and Martha C. Nussbaum, the Complete Works of Lucius
Annaeus Seneca series offers authoritative, modern English
translations of the writings of the Stoic philosopher and
playwright (4 BCE-65 CE). The two volumes of The Complete Tragedies
present all of his dramas, expertly rendered by preeminent scholars
and translators. This first volume contains Medea, The Phoenician
Women, Phaedra, The Trojan Women, and Octavia, the last of which
was written in emulation of Senecan tragedies and serves as a
unique example of political tragedy. The second volume includes
Oedipus, Hercules Mad, Hercules on Oeta, Thyestes, and Agamemnon.
High standards of accuracy, clarity, and style are maintained
throughout the translations, which render Seneca into verse with as
close a correspondence, line for line, to the original as possible,
and with special attention paid to meter and overall flow. In
addition, each tragedy is prefaced by an original translator's
introduction offering reflections on the work's context and
meaning. Notes are provided for the reader unfamiliar with the
culture and history of classical antiquity. Accordingly, The
Complete Tragedies will be of use to a general audience and
professionals alike, from the Latinless student to scholars and
instructors of comparative literature, classics, philosophy, drama,
and more.
