The text includes an introduction comparing ancient Greek and Roman drama, historical references to the plague as symbol, a retrospective of the evolution of the Sphinx from benign guardian to its later incarnation as an image of evil, similarities between Seneca’s Stoicism and early Judaic/Christian theology, and approaches to presenting the play for modern audiences.
