E-text prepared by Ted Garvin, Eleni Christofaki, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Tragedies of Seneca" by Lucius Annaeus Seneca is a collection of ancient Roman tragedies written in the 50s CE. These philosophical dramas reimagine Greek myths through a Stoic lens, featuring five-act structures, violent plots recounted in shocking detail, and lengthy moral meditations. Written by the Stoic philosopher-politician, these works transformed familiar stories like Medea and Agamemnon into distinctly Roman philosophical explorations. Their graphic violence and ethical focus would later influence Renaissance revenge tragedy, including Shakespeare's bloodiest works. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
