Beschreibung

Phoenissae is probably Seneca's final play, a work of great dramatic, poetic, and intellectual force, permeated by issues central to Senecan thinking and tragic practice. This edition offers a newly edited Latin text, English verse translation, and a detailed commentary setting the work in its theatrical and historical context.
