Phaedra * Oedipus * Medea * Trojan Women * Hercules Furens * Thyestes Seneca's plays are the product of a sensational, frightening, and oppressive period of history. Tutor to the emperor Nero, Seneca lived through uncertain and violent times, and his dramas depict the extremes of human behaviour. Rape, suicide, child-killing, incestuous love, madness and mutilation afflict the characters, who are obsessed and destroyed by their feelings. Passion is constantly set against reason, and passion wins out. Seneca forces us to think about the difference between compromise and hypocrisy, about what happens when emotions overwhelm judgement, and about how, if at all, a person can be good, calm, or happy in a corrupt society and under constant threat of death. Seneca was one of the most prolific, versatile, and influential of all classical Latin writers, and the only tragic playwright from ancient Rome whose work survives. This new edition of his six best plays captures Seneca's style in a verse translation that is both lively and accurate. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

最喜欢medea，phaedra理解不能，oeduipus很有名了，trojan women描写战争的残酷，hercules furens和thyestes太黑暗了。总得来说语言也很heavy，emily wilson的前言很好，对后面的悲剧的理解很有帮助~~

评分不光重口味，还讲冷笑话……
评分Very neat translation, albeit at times a little too colloquial. http://bmcr.brynmawr.edu/2010/2010-07-42.html
评分和善良的希腊人比起来，真是充满恶意啊。。。Trojan Women尤其受不了。。。不过从现代人的眼光看还是挺高能的，让人又害怕又兴奋
