El tiempo en la tragedia de Séneca
Main Article Content
Abstract
Through an analysis of passages from Seneca’s Oedipus, Medea, and Thyestes, this paper endeavors to demonstrate that Seneca’s tragedies retain the Stoic ethic of naturam sequi while rejecting the rational Stoic cosmos, and with it the rationalistic basis for Stoic ethics. Senecan tragic characters are thus trapped between two ethical imperatives—following nature and behaving rationally—which are contradictory in the universe that they are forced to inhabit.
