Self-representation and illusion in Senecan tragedy

Self-representation and illusion in Senecan tragedy / C.A.J. Littlewood.

C.A.J. Littlewood approaches Seneca's tragedies as Neronian literature rather than as reworkings of Attic drama, and emphasizes their place in the Roman world and in the Latin literary corpus. The Greek tragic myths are for Seneca mediated by non-dramatic Augustan literature.
