1 THE PASSIONS IN PLAY Thyestes and the Dynamics of Senecan Drama This is the first monograph in English 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. alessandro schiesaro is Professor of Latin Language and Literature at King s College in the University of London, having previously taught at Princeton University and the University of Wisconsin Madison. He has published widely on Latin literature, including Simulacrum et imago (1990) and co-editing, with Phillip Mitsis and Jenny Strauss Clay, Mega nepios: il destinatario nell epos didascalico (1993) and, with Thomas Habinek, The Roman Cultural Revolution (1997).

7 Acknowledgements This book has been, alas, very long in the making and has also accumulated a large number of debts, both personal and institutional. It was begun in the idyllic surroundings of the Classics Department at Princeton, where it was fostered by much material support, but especially by the stimulating friendship of Josh Ober, Froma Zeitlin and Richard Martin, and, not far from East Pyne, that of Glen Bowersock, Adrienne Mayor and Daniel Mendelsohn. I also remember with gratitude the brilliant students of my graduate seminars, and the help I received on several occasions from excellent research assistants. In London, help at crucial junctures has come from John Henderson and Victoria Rimell. My colleagues Carlotta Dionisotti, Ingo Gildenhard, Roland Mayer and Michael Silk have been a great source of learning and friendship. The anonymous readers for Cambridge University Press have offered much appreciated criticism and advice. Michael Sharp has been a very supportive and patient editor. My thanks to them all. Sadly, Don Fowler can only be thanked in memoriam for all he has done for this book and its author. The book incorporates, in a revised form, material that has previously appeared in Vergilius 38 (1992); Materiali e Discussioni 39 (1997); J. Elsner and J. Masters (eds.), Reflections of Nero (London, 1994); C. Gill and S. Braund (eds.), The Passions in Roman Thought and Literature (Cambridge, 1996); P. Parroni (ed.), Seneca e il suo tempo (Rome, 2000). The quotation from Eugène Ionesco, La cantatrice chauve, scene 8, at the beginning of the Introduction is reproduced by permission of the publisher from Emmanuel Jacquart (ed.), Théâtre Complet (Collection Bibliothèque de la Pléiade, no. 372) (Gallimard, Paris, 1990). ix
