Phaedra * Oedipus * Medea * Trojan Women * Hercules Furens * ThyestesSeneca's plays are the product of a sensational, frightening, and oppressive period of history. Tutor to the emperor Nero, Seneca lived through uncertain and violent times, and his dramas depict the extremes of human behaviour. Rape, suicide, child-killing, incestuous love, madness and mutilation afflict the characters, who are obsessed and destroyed by their feelings. Passion is constantly set against reason, and passion wins out. Seneca forces us to think about the difference betweencompromise and hypocrisy, about what happ

"After centuries of neglect there is renewed interest in the life and works of Lucius Annaeus Seneca (or Seneca the Younger, c. 4 BCE-65 CE). At one time an advisor at court to Nero, Seneca and his political career came to ruin when he was implicated in a later plot to kill the capricious and matricidal emperor and compelled to commit suicide. Discredited through collusion, or at least association, with a notorious and tyrannical regime, Seneca's ideas were for a time also considered derivative of Greek Stoicism and thus inferior to the real thing. In this first in-depth introduction to be published for many years, Christopher Star shows what a remarkable statesman, dramatist and philosopher his subject actually was. Seneca's original contributions to political philosophy and the philosophy of the emotions were considerable. He was a favourite authority for many early Christian authors, and he is a key figure in the history of ideas and the Renaissance, as well as in literature and drama. This new survey does full justice to his significance."--Page 4 of cover.

This volume contains ten essays by an international group of scholars on various aspects of the work of L. Annaeus Seneca the Younger, the famous (some would say, notorious) Roman playwright, philosopher, and politician of the Claudian and Neronian periods. Approaching Seneca from a number of different angles, the authors endeavor both to illuminate individual aspects of the writer's enormous output and to discern common themes among the many different genres practiced by Seneca. Given its interdisciplinary approach, the collection is of interest to classicists, historians, and historians of philosophy alike.

Das Verhältnis des "Seneca philosophus" zum "Seneca tragicus" ist für die Interpretation von Senecas Tragödien noch immer entscheidend. Die Autorin widmet sich dem Problem im Bereich der Theologie. Als zentrale theologische Problemfelder untersucht sie in Senecas philosophischen Schriften und Tragödien sein Verständnis von providentia und damit die Theodizeefrage sowie sein Verständnis des fatum und damit die Willensfreiheit. Anders als die bisherigen Untersuchungen, deren Interesse vorrangig den Dramen galt und die die philosophischen Schriften nur am Rande berücksichtigten, bildet in dieser Studie die Theologie der philosophischen Schriften den Ausgangspunkt, um deren Problemstellungen auch für eine Deutung der Dramen fruchtbar zu machen. Im Gegensatz zu den Forschungspositionen, die Senecas Dramen entweder als philosophische Lehrstücke oder als Negation der stoischen Philosophie verstehen, erhellt die von der Autorin gewählte Vorgehensweise Senecas Bezugnahme auf philosophische Fragestellungen innerhalb der Dramen. In ihnen setzt sich Seneca im Gedankenexperiment mit Problemen und Aporien auseinander, die auch im philosophischen Diskurs der Stoa nicht zufriedenstellend aufzulösen sind.

Die Schilderung physischer Gewalttaten wie Folter, Mord und Hinrichtung gilt als charakteristisch für die Literatur der 2. Hälfte des 1. Jhs. n. Chr., wurde aber bislang kaum befriedigend analysiert. Insbesondere aufzählende Abschnitte aus Senecas De ira und Lucans De bello civili sorgen für Irritation. Darum sucht dieses Buch die Annäherung an antike Rezeptionshaltungen.Die systematische Auseinandersetzung mit der Rhetoriklehre zeigt, dass Aufzählungen die visuelle Imagination unterstützen und zur Affekterregung beitragen. Lust und Staunen sind ein ambivalent bewertetes Begriffspaar, mit dem die antike Rezeptionsästhetik die Inszenierung und Betrachtung von Gewalt charakterisiert. Wertevorstellungen wiederum werden in verkürzten Aufzählungen von exempla veranschaulicht. Unter diesen Voraussetzungen erweist ein close reading Senecas und Lucans, dass die Anschaulichkeit ihrer Texte auf der Reduktion auf konkrete Details beruht, die aber gerade durch die Häufung in Aufzählungen ihre affektive Wirkung entfalten. Der Rezipient erhält so ein vielfältiges Assoziationsangebot und kann sich aktiv an der Erschaffung einer caedis imago beteiligen. Often noticed, frequently criticized, the descriptions of physical violence in Seneca's philosophical work De ira and Lucan's civil war epic De bello civili irritate until today. Only looking at the theory of rhetoric, the use of exempla and the staging of violence allows an approach to ancient reception attitudes and reveals the connections between enumeration and visualizability, violence and the the arousal of the emotions.
