Seneca’s Phaedra occupies an important and influential position in the tradition of European drama. This new edition concentrates on the play’s dramatic qualities, examining its Greek and Roman background. The introduction presents discussion of dramaturgy and rhetoric as well as style and textual transmission. An unusual feature is the tracing of the influence of Phaedra’s story on later European literature and music. The commentary has extensive notes not only on Seneca’s language, but also on plot, characterization, and the use of myth.
