This Penguin Classics edition features four authentic tragedies by Seneca (Phaedra, Thyestes, Medea, The Trojan Women) along with the play Octavia, attributed to him in antiquity but now considered the work of a later writer. E.F. Watling’s translations retain the dramatic force of the original Latin texts, highlighting Seneca’s rhetorical power, Stoic influence, and psychological insight.
