Four Tragedies and Octavia
by:
E.F. Watling (author)
Seneca (author)
Although their themes are borrowed from Greek drama, these exuberant and often macabre plays focus on action rather than moral concerns and are strikingly different in style from Seneca's prose writing. This collection includes Phaedra, Oedipus, Thyestes, and The Trojan Women.
