Produktbeschreibung

Despite ancient Roman fascination with the tragic myth of Mycenae's 'king of kings', Seneca's Agamemnon is the only dramatic treatment from this tradition to have survived since antiquity. This new edition comprises an extensive introduction, Latin text, English verse translation, and detailed line-by-line commentary on the play.
