This is most comprehensive study of Seneca's Hercules Furens to date and indeed of any Roman tragedy. Apart from illustrating the poetic language, the literary conventions and the dramatic technique of the play, the book highlights the figure of the Roman Hercules in relation to its Greek model, the Euripidean Herakles. The comprehensive introduction on myth, modern interpretations and textual transmission of the play is followed by a discussion of the newly discovered collation of the codex Etruscus by J.F. Gronovius. The detailed commentary is provided with a new critical edition and a new German translation. The work includes a full bibliography, an analytical index and a complete index of passages cited. Special attention is given to literary motifs and topoi as well as to Seneca's poetic language in its pivotal position between the Augustan poets and Neronian-Flavian epic.

"Wie keine andere mythische Figur der Antike vereint Herakles diverse Charaktereigenschaften in sich, die oft in eklatantem Widerspruch zueinander stehen. Silvio Bär untersucht, wie Herakles als literarische Figur in der altgriechischen Epik von Homer bis Nonnos verwendet wird und wie seine inhärente Widersprüchlichkeit funktionalisiert wird. Obwohl Herakles im altgriechischen Epos nie als Protagonist auftritt, ist er dennoch von herausragender Bedeutung, insofern als seine Präsenz oft in eine Wechselwirkung mit der Haupthandlung tritt oder für metapoetische Zwecke (das "Reden über das Erzählen") benutzt wird. Methodologisch orientiert sich die Studie an der in der Klassischen Philologie bisher kaum angewendeten Methode der narratologischen Figurenanalyse. Ferner postuliert Bär die "Widerspruchsfähigkeit des Mythos": Das "System Mythos" folgt demnach einer eigenen Logik, Widersprüche und Ungereimtheiten müssen nicht aufgelöst oder erklärt werden, sondern ergänzen und verstärken einander gegenseitig - eine Eigenschaft des Mythos, für die Herakles beispielhaft steht."--Publisher's website.
