What is Seneca's Phoenissae: Introduction And Commentary (mnemosyne, Bibliotheca Classica Batava Supplementum) (english And Greek Edition) about?

<p>This is the first commentary to be written in English on Seneca's <i>Phoenissae</i>, an intriguing work on account of its unusual structure and state of incompletion.<br> The substantial introduction deals, <i>inter alia</i>, with the question of the unity and purpose of the work; the absence of an ending and of choral lyrics; the philosophical, rhetorical, and political content; Seneca's treatment of the Theban legend. The commentary is primarily a literary analysis of the text, but textual, linguistic, metrical, and grammatical difficulties are also elucidated.<br> With the resurgence of interest in Senecan drama in the last two decadese, this book is a valuable addition to English commentaries that appeared on most of the plays.</p>
