Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hercules Furens: A Tragedy of Seneca Thebes alone, profuse of shameless women, borne any husband sons! Alemene is allowed to go aloft and hold my place, my victor; and her son too, for whose birth the world gave up a day, and Phœbus, ordered to retain his brightness sunk beneath the Ocean, late illumed the Eastern sea, Alcides, has a promised seat in heaven. My wrath shall not thus die away: my raging soul shall cherish lasting hatred, and my cruel grief shall rupture peace and wage eternal war. What war? Whatever mouster hateful Earth has fathered, Hercules has conquered; and whatever frightful, dreadful, loathesome, fierce and savage thing the sea or air affords, has been subdued and tamed; and yet he lives and strengthens by his evils, and enjoys my rage: he makes my very hate his praise: by my too harsh commands I have made known his father: I have been the cause of his renown: his valor unsubdued is worshipped where the sun brings back the morning, and where he renews the evening, and where Ethiopia's coasts are scorched by his near torch: through all the world he is declared a god. Already monsters fail me; and it is less difficult for Hercules to execute my orders, than for me to find commands. He gladly undertakes whatever I impose on him. What harsh commands of Eurystheus can harm the eager youth? He even bears for weapons what he once has feared and overcome: he comes armed with the Lion and the Hydra. Earth is too contracted for him: he has even burst the gates of hell, and bears his booty from its conquered king up to the world. That it has been returned is not enough: the compact of the shades has perished. I myself have seen him scattering the gloom of the infernal deep, and hurling to his father plunder from his vanquished brother god. Why did he not drag out the king himself, of equal power with Jove, subdued and bound with chains, and seizing captured Erebus unbar the Styx? An exit for the shades has been laid open from the deepest cavern, and the secrets of dread Death arc brought to light. And now, the prison of the shades unbarred, he fiercely triumphs over me, and with a haughty hand he drags the dismal dog through Grecian cities. I have seen the clay retire, and the sun shake with fear at sight of Cerberus: a trembling has come over me, and looking on the conquered monsters triple necks, I scarce have dared impose my orders. But I make too light complaints; for heaven has cause to fear, that he, who has subdued the lower world, will also gel possession of the upper. He will not ascend to heaven.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Heracles by : Daniel Ogden
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Heracles written by Daniel Ogden and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heracles is the quintessential ancient Greek hero. The rich and massive tradition associated with him encompasses myths of all kinds: quest myths, monster-fights, world-foundational myths, aetiological myths, philosophical myths, allegorical myths, and more. It informs and is informed by every genre and variety of Classical literature. The figure of Heracles opens windows onto numerous aspects of ancient religion, including those of cult, syncretism, Christian reception, the relationship between gods and heroes, and the intersection of religion with politics. The Oxford Handbook of Heracles is the first large-scale guide to Heracles, his myth-cycle the Twelve Labors, and, to the pervasive impact of the hero upon Greek and Roman culture. The first half of the volume is devoted to the lucid exposition and analysis of the ancient evidence, literary and iconographic, for Heracles' life and deeds. In the second half, the Heracles tradition is analyzed from a range of thematic perspectives, including the contrasting projections of the figure across the major literary genres and in art; the ways in which Greek communities and even Roman emperors exploited the figure in the fashioning of their own identities and for political advantage; his cult in Greece and Rome and its syncretism with that of the Phoenician Melqart; and Heracles' reception in later Western tradition. Presenting, in 39 chapters, the authoritative work of international experts in a clear and well-structured format, this volume provides a convenient reference tool for scholars and offers an accessible starting-point for students.

Book Synopsis The Passions in Play by : Alessandro Schiesaro
Download or read book The Passions in Play written by Alessandro Schiesaro and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-09-25 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hercules Furens: A Tragedy of Seneca IT has, for several years, been a rule in arranging the studies of the Latin depart ment in Harvard College, to introduce specimens of the Roman drama. For this purpose an edition of the Medea of Seneca was some years ago prepared by the under signed, and used by several classes. The edition being exhausted, the question pre sented itself whether it would be better to issue a second edition of the Medea, or select some other tragedy from the collec tion bearing the name of Seneca. Several and sufficiently weighty reasons led to a decision in favor of the latter course, and to-the publication of the Hercules Furens.
