Description
Only a few of Seneca’s tragedieshave beendated exactly so far. This study presents an ? often surprising ? sequence of all the plays. It analyses thoughts and motifs, variations of which are to be found in two (or more) tragedies, in order to determine which is the earlier and which the later version. This has significant consequences for any attempt to find references to contemporary events in the plays.
