Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hercules Furens: A Tragedy of Seneca Thebes alone, profuse of shameless women, borne any husband sons! Alemene is allowed to go aloft and hold my place, my victor; and her son too, for whose birth the world gave up a day, and Phœbus, ordered to retain his brightness sunk beneath the Ocean, late illumed the Eastern sea, Alcides, has a promised seat in heaven. My wrath shall not thus die away: my raging soul shall cherish lasting hatred, and my cruel grief shall rupture peace and wage eternal war. What war? Whatever mouster hateful Earth has fathered, Hercules has conquered; and whatever frightful, dreadful, loathesome, fierce and savage thing the sea or air affords, has been subdued and tamed; and yet he lives and strengthens by his evils, and enjoys my rage: he makes my very hate his praise: by my too harsh commands I have made known his father: I have been the cause of his renown: his valor unsubdued is worshipped where the sun brings back the morning, and where he renews the evening, and where Ethiopia's coasts are scorched by his near torch: through all the world he is declared a god. Already monsters fail me; and it is less difficult for Hercules to execute my orders, than for me to find commands. He gladly undertakes whatever I impose on him. What harsh commands of Eurystheus can harm the eager youth? He even bears for weapons what he once has feared and overcome: he comes armed with the Lion and the Hydra. Earth is too contracted for him: he has even burst the gates of hell, and bears his booty from its conquered king up to the world. That it has been returned is not enough: the compact of the shades has perished. I myself have seen him scattering the gloom of the infernal deep, and hurling to his father plunder from his vanquished brother god. Why did he not drag out the king himself, of equal power with Jove, subdued and bound with chains, and seizing captured Erebus unbar the Styx? An exit for the shades has been laid open from the deepest cavern, and the secrets of dread Death arc brought to light. And now, the prison of the shades unbarred, he fiercely triumphs over me, and with a haughty hand he drags the dismal dog through Grecian cities. I have seen the clay retire, and the sun shake with fear at sight of Cerberus: a trembling has come over me, and looking on the conquered monsters triple necks, I scarce have dared impose my orders. But I make too light complaints; for heaven has cause to fear, that he, who has subdued the lower world, will also gel possession of the upper. He will not ascend to heaven.

Download or read book The Passions in Play written by Alessandro Schiesaro and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-09-25 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is devoted to the most important of Seneca's tragedies, Thyestes, which has had a notable influence on Western drama from Shakespeare to Antonin Artaud. Thyestes emerges as the mastertext of 'Silver' Latin poetry, and as an original reflection on the nature of theatre comparable to Euripides' Bacchae. The book analyses the complex structure of the play, its main themes, the relationship between Seneca's vibrant style and his obsession with dark issues of revenge and regression. Substantial discussion of other plays - especially Trojan Women, Oedipus and Medea - permits a comprehensive re-evaluation of Seneca's poetics and its pivotal role in post-Virgilian literature. Topics explored include the relationship between Seneca's plays and his theory of the emotions, the connection between poetic inspiration and the Underworld, and Seneca's treatment of time, which, in a perspective informed by psychoanalysis, is seen as a central preoccupation of Senecan tragedy.

Download or read book Seneca Hercules Furens written by Margarethe Billerbeck and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 759 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is most comprehensive study of Seneca's Hercules Furens to date and indeed of any Roman tragedy. Apart from illustrating the poetic language, the literary conventions and the dramatic technique of the play, the book highlights the figure of the Roman Hercules in relation to its Greek model, the Euripidean Herakles. The comprehensive introduction on myth, modern interpretations and textual transmission of the play is followed by a discussion of the newly discovered collation of the codex Etruscus by J.F. Gronovius. The detailed commentary is provided with a new critical edition and a new German translation. The work includes a full bibliography, an analytical index and a complete index of passages cited. Special attention is given to literary motifs and topoi as well as to Seneca's poetic language in its pivotal position between the Augustan poets and Neronian-Flavian epic.

Book excerpt: The first detailed cultural and theatrical history of a major literary form, this landmark introduction examines Roman tragedy and its place at the centre of Rome’s cultural and political life.

Boyle delves into detailed discussion on every Roman tragedian whose work survives in substance today. Roman Tragedy examines: the history of Roman tragic techniques and conventions the history of generic form and change the debt that Rome owes to Greece, and text owes to text the birth, development and death of Roman tragedy in the context of the cities evolving, institutions, ideologies and political and social practices tragedy proper and the historical drama (fabula praetexta), which the Romans allied to tragedy. With parallel English translations of Latin quotations, this seminal work not only provides an invaluable resource for students of theatre, Roman political history and cultural history, but it is also accessible to all interested in the social dynamics of writing, spectacle, ideology and power.
