	Staging Oedipus - OEDIPUS OF LUCIUS ANNAEUS SENECA - Translated and Adapted by Michael Rutenberg, 1999.
		Seneca’s Oedipus is not a pallid imitation of Sophocles.
		Seneca, in Epistle CII, 28, reflects this view when he says, "someday the secrets of heaven will be revealed to us, and all our ignorant darkness will be dispelled by glorious light." I’ve chosen to end Oedipus with that image, because it is as relevant to our age as it was to his.
		This concept also seemed consistent with Seneca’s own era, in that he lived during that period when many apocalyptic texts circulated throughout Rome.

	The Oedipus of Lucius Annaeus Seneca by Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Michael E. Rutenberg, 0865164592, Lowest Book Price Finder
		Seneca also wrote his version of the Oedipus myth after the downfall of Nero, as the Roman Empire was emerging from a particularly dark period in its history.
		The tragedy of "Oedipus" as told by the Roman playwright Seneca is a very bloodthirsty and savage retelling of the story from classical mythology, much in keeping with the Roman view of popular entertainment.
		Whereas the Greek tragedy by Sophocles is concerned with unraveling the puzzle (most readers never note that the prophecy as told to Oedipus is not the same as what was told to his parents), the Seneca version is more about psychology and emotion than logic.

	"The raw dream of Oedipus" Seneca's Oedipus, directed by Barrie Kosky Sydney Theatre Company
		Barrie Kosky's recent Sydney Theatre Company production of Seneca's Oedipus, the Greek legend of the tormented King of Thebes who, unknowingly, kills his father and weds his mother, completes a cycle of four plays by the director (Tartuffe, Mourning Becomes Electra and King Lear) dealing with the issues of destiny, fate and the family.

		The Chorus is maintained, as in the original Seneca, but its role is different from that of Greek theatre.

		The references to mercy cast a critical light on Oedipus' action and show that Seneca the philosopher would not have condoned this action, but would have prescribed clemency.
		It soon becomes clear that he is the mouthpiece of Seneca philosophus in the play, for the original choral odes have largely been replaced by excerpts from Seneca's philosophical works.
		For instance, immediately after Oedipus has commanded that Creon and Tiresias be arrested on suspicion of plotting to overthrow him there is a short choral passage (pp.

		Most people would consider it unusual to begin a book on the Thyestes with an exploration of the dialogue between Creon and Oedipus after the extispicy by Teiresias and Manto in Seneca's Oedipus (chapter 1: Poetry, passions and knowledge).
		In a political reading, Atreus would be Nero and the satelles Seneca.
		The chapter, nearly doubling the length of the second longest chapter, is a spirited exegesis of the relation of the Tereus myth to that of Thyestes.

	Staging Oedipus - OEDIPUS OF LUCIUS ANNAEUS SENECA - Translated and Adapted by Michael Rutenberg, 1999.
		It should be noted that the corpus of Senecan tragedy survives only in medieval manuscripts that do not contain any stage directions.
		Consequently, the presentation of any Senecan tragedy must rely on a few wall paintings, some inference from bare texts, and the director’s intuition.
		The underground Royal bunker echoed those places in our history where ordinary citizens stock-piled provisions and voluntarily shut themselves in not to be seen again until the plague ran its course.

		Sometime later, Oedipus reaches Thebes and is confronted at the city’s gate by the Sphinx, a mythological creature with the head of a woman and the body of a lion.
		A fight ensues in which hot-headed Oedipus kills the other man — his biological father, King Laius.
		Oedipus marries Laius’ widow — his own mother — and has four children with her: Antigone, Ismene, Eteocles, and Polynices.

	Roman and Byzantine Theatre and Drama
		The later Roman period had a few surviving plays by Lucius Annareus Seneca who wrote The Trojan Women, Medea, Oedipus, Phaedra and Hercules on Oeta among others.
		Later Seneca's popularity declined, and he committed suicide in 65 A.D. The theatre was certainly not the only form of entertainment in Rome.
		Only three names of Roman playwrights of tragedy are known from the early times: Quintus Ennius, Marcus Pascuvius, and Lucius Accius.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 95.07.09
		Tarrant complained in 1978 at the established belief "that Seneca turned directly to the great tragedians of the fifth century for his material." He has reversed orthodoxy to the point where Frank is almost too anxious to minimize the influence of Soph.
		There are only two important divergences; the location of Oedipus away from Thebes and the postponement of Jocasta's intercession until the moment of single combat.
		Frank invokes the Eumenides as precedent for a "peripatetic" chorus of Theban women which would sing its first ode (detached from the action itself) at 319/20, be conceived as present during 320-62, then sing a second ode of foreboding.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Ted Hughes

		Ted Hughes, a major poet of the second half of the twentieth century, was also a significant author of children’s literature, short stories, plays, and a versatile translator of classic and modern poets and playwrights.
		Edward James (Ted) Hughes was born August 17, 1930 in Mytholmroyd, a small town in West Yorkshire, the youngest of three children of Edith (Farrar) and William Hughes, a carpenter, and moved to Mexborough in l937, when his family bought a newsagent and tobacco shop.

	Theater News - Tunes, Tomes, & Videos: Peter Brook: A Biography -
		At one point, Kustow associates Brook's sexual drive with the 15-foot phallus wheeled onto the stage of the National Theatre in the satyr-play finale of the director's 1968 production of Seneca's Oedipus.
		Brook has made no secret of his contempt for the audience (or critic) that "glibly asserts that life is good, that there is always hope and that all will be well." Observing him as the prophetic figure he is today, it's easy to overlook the fact that he didn't start life as an iconoclast.
		Kustow's treatment of sex and the grown-up Peter Brook suggests that the writer, as an acquaintance and admirer of his subject, is torn between wanting to sidestep intimate matters and fearing that he may paint an emasculated portrait.

	ARKINS: Seneca and Shakespeare
		Whether or not Seneca's plays were originally designed for performance in the theatre, they have been and are being performed: Ted Hughes' version of Oedipus is a case in point.
		Shakespeare's most Senecan plays are Titus Andronicus, Hamlet, Richard III, and Macbeth, and the plays of Seneca that most contribute to these are The Trojan Women, Phaedra, Thyestes, Agamemnon and Hercules Furens.
		To conclude, the appeal of Seneca's plays for the Elizabethan age and for the modern age is not far to seek: Seneca studies evil with great diligence and, in particular, evil in the prince, and both those ages are very well versed in evil.

		He exposes analysis and its myth of the search for identity which is still with us, is still blinding us, is still trying to turn people into Oedipus on both sides of the analytical couch.
