Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the realm of Roman tragedy, a genre often overshadowed by its comedic counterpart. While comedy flourished in ancient Rome, tragedy, despite its initial popularity, gradually declined. The author explores this shift, examining the works of early Roman tragedians like Livius Andronicus, Naevius, Ennius, and Pacuvius, who drew inspiration from Greek models. The focus then turns to Seneca, the Roman philosopher and playwright whose ten tragedies, including adaptations from Greek originals, form the core of surviving Roman tragic literature. The analysis centers on Seneca's "Medea," comparing it to Euripides' version and highlighting Seneca's unique approach to character development, plot structure, and the use of the chorus. The book explores Seneca's life, influences, and philosophical perspectives, particularly Stoicism, which permeates his writings. The discussion extends to Seneca's other works, including essays, letters, and dialogues, showcasing his literary versatility and the stylistic elements that define his writing. By examining Seneca's tragedies and their historical context, this book offers valuable insights into the complexities of Roman tragedy, its evolution, and its enduring legacy in the broader landscape of classical literature.
