Edited by world-renowned classicists Elizabeth Asmis, Shadi
Bartsch, and Martha C. Nussbaum, the Complete Works of Lucius
Annaeus Seneca 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 presents all of his
dramas, expertly rendered by preeminent scholars and translators.
The 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. This 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.
