Abstract

This work presents an annotaded translation of the tragedy Oedipus of the latin author Seneca, followed by an introduction and three essayistic studies: the first one contrasting the role of the fate in Sophocles¿ Oedipus king and in Seneca¿s Oedipus, showing the influences of stoic philosophy in the latter; the second focuses on the images of the play, discussing the property of its use by a stoic philosopher; the third one deals with the use of descriptions in the latin play, how this subverts the aristotelian laws of the tragedy and which is their function in the play (AU)
