Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A tragedy not meant to comfort-but to implicate.Written in the first century CE by Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Thyestes is among the most disturbing works of the Western dramatic tradition: a tragedy of revenge, cannibalism, inherited violence, and the destruction of moral order.Atreus has been betrayed by his brother Thyestes. His response is not simply revenge. He devises an act so terrible that vengeance itself becomes a form of creation: a feast at which Thyestes unknowingly consumes the bodies of his own children.This edition presents Thyestes not as a distant classical artifact, but as a living theatrical event.It is a narrative translation and theatrical adaptation, written in clear modern English while preserving the severity, strangeness, and moral ferocity of Seneca's tragedy. The play has been shaped into a five-act dramatic experience, with expanded stage directions, performance cues, and a Chorus reimagined through multiple voices, ages, and social positions.The purpose is not to soften Seneca.It is to restore the danger of encountering him.An Anima / Animus Tragedy of PietasAt the center of this adaptation is a conflict between two kinds of force.Anima / animus names the forces moving within human beings: hunger, rage, inheritance, desire, fear, and the will to act.Against them stands pietas: the Roman ordering principle of obligation to family, gods, community, and the inherited structures that make human life possible.In Thyestes, that order collapses.Kinship becomes a weapon. Hospitality becomes murder. Appetite becomes law. Even the natural world seems unable to accommodate what human beings have done.Seneca offers no comfortable restoration after the catastrophe. The audience cannot simply watch Atreus and Thyestes from the safety of moral distance. The tragedy gradually turns outward, toward those observing it.The final question is therefore not merely what happened to the House of Tantalus.It is: And what of us?A Landmark in the History of TheatreThyestes stands at a remarkable crossroads in theatrical history. Senecan tragedy helped shape the Renaissance revenge tradition and the violent imaginative world from which works such as Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus emerged. Its fascination with spectacle, cruelty, transgression, and the implication of the spectator also anticipates much later theatrical experiments.This adaptation embraces that inheritance.It is designed to be read, staged, imagined, and argued with.The audience is not merely a witness.The audience is part of the crime.This Edition IncludesA clear, forceful narrative translation in modern EnglishA complete five-act theatrical structureExtensive stage directions and performance cuesA Chorus reimagined through multiple human perspectivesPhilosophical framing through anima / animus and pietasAn adaptation suitable for readers, students, actors, and directorsA tragedy that preserves Seneca's violence rather than explaining it awayFor Readers OfClassical tragedy, Roman literature, Shakespeare and revenge drama, philosophy and literature, theatre history, the psychology of power, and dark literary works that refuse easy moral resolution.The Big Ideas Club Presents: Poetic PhilosophyNarrative Translations Designed for AccessibilityPoetic Philosophy brings foundational works of philosophy and literature into the present without flattening their complexity, eliminating their strangeness, or evading their discomfort.T Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. No Dust Jacket. Minor shelfwear. Scholar's name to ffep (D. Gerber).; Loeb Classical Library No. 78; 2; 542 pages; Seneca is a figure of first importance in both Roman politics and literature: a leading adviser to Nero who attempted to restrain the emperor's megalomania; a prolific moral philosopher; and the author of verse tragedies that strongly influenced Shakespeare and other Renaissance dramatists. Here is the first of a new two-volume edition of Seneca's tragedies, with a fully annotated translation facing the Latin text. Seneca's plays depict intense passions and interactions in an appropriately strong rhetoric. Their perspective is much bleaker than that of his prose writings. In this new translation John Fitch conveys the force of Seneca's dramatic language and the lyric quality of his choral odes.…
