This monograph is devoted to the most important of Seneca's tragedies, Thyestes, which has had a notable influence on Western drama from Shakespeare to Antonin Artaud. Thyestes emerges as the mastertext of 'Silver' Latin poetry, and as an original reflection on the nature of theatre comparable to Euripides' Bacchae. The book analyses the complex structure of the play, its main themes, the relationship between Seneca's vibrant style and his obsession with dark issues of revenge and regression. Substantial discussion of other plays - especially Trojan Women, Oedipus and Medea - permits a comprehensive re-evaluation of Seneca's poetics and its pivotal role in post-Virgilian literature. Topics explored include the relationship between Seneca's plays and his theory of the emotions, the connection between poetic inspiration and the Underworld, and Seneca's treatment of time, which, in a perspective informed by psychoanalysis, is seen as a central preoccupation of Senecan tragedy.

Euripidea Tertia is a companion volume to the Loeb Classical Library edition of Euripides. It discusses places in the text primarily of the late plays where the editor's choice of variants or adoption of conjectures required some explanation and also places where the translation needed explaining. The plays covered are Iphigenia Taurica, Ion, Helen, Phoenissae, Orestes, Bacchae, Iphigenia Aulidensis , and Rhesus , with addenda on earlier plays. Reviewers of the earlier volumes Euripidea and Euripidea Altera have commented on the cogency and sensitivity of his textual arguments. Serious students of Euripides, tragedy, textual criticism, and Greek metre will all want to read this book.

Ce livre est le résultat d'une longue quête scientifique. Plus de trente chercheurs, d'origine et de formation différentes ont scruté et analysé les témoignages des Anciens pour définir la nature et explorer les rouages du pouvoir dans l'antiquité classique. Au travers de deux notions qui sont apparues essentielles et indissociables, celle des fondements et celle de la crise, historiens et philologues se sont attachés à présenter une vision d'ensemble cohérente d'un des aspects majeurs du fonctionnement des sociétés antiques. Questo libro è il risultato di una lunga ricerca scientifica. Più di trenta studiosi, di origine e formazione diversa, hanno scrutato e analizzato le testimonianze degli antichi per definire la natura del potere ed esplorarne i meccanismi nell'antichità classica. Mediante due nozioni, che sono apparse essenziali e indissociabili, quella dei fondamenti e quella della crisi, storici e filologi si sono adoperati a presentare una visione d'insieme coerente di uno dei maggiori aspetti del funzionamento delle società antiche. This book is the result of long scientific quest. Over thirty researchers, from different origins and backgrounds, have scrutinised and analysed testimonies by ancient people in order to define the nature, and explore the creations, of power in classical ancient times. Through two notions that appeared both essential and inseparable, that of foundations and that of crisis, historians and philologists endeavoured to present a consistent overall view of one of the major aspects of the workings of ancient societies.
