Bøker av Lucius Annaeus Seneca

This is a uniquely surviving specimen of prose-and-verse satire from the Roman world. The English version facing the text makes the work available to the general reader who may not have any Latin. The text, which is based on a critical examination of all the manuscripts, will be indispensable to scholars.

This new edition concentrates on the dramatic qualities of Phaedra and examines the Greek and Roman background to the play.
