Themes in Roman Society and Culture
BOOK REVIEWS/COMPTES RENDUS 193 understand in which direction the book was going. The book itself, for some reason, does not have a real conclusion, but an Envoi, somewhat cryptically called “Away from the Future.” This section deals further with Augustus, his use of astrology, and his control of divination for his own purposes, a radical change from the days of the republic. A further note of caution has to do with the way Santangelo uses his so…
The Women of Pliny's Letters
Pliny's letters offer a significant source of information about the lives of Roman women (predominantly, though not exclusively, upper-class women) during the late first and early second centuries CE. In the 368 letters included in his ten published books of epistles, Pliny mentions over 30 women by name, addresses letters to seven, and refers to well over 40 anonymous women. Many of the references are brief comments in letters whose topics are t…

Seneca in Performance
The plays of Seneca the Younger, minister and philosopher under Nero, are today increasingly studied, appreciated - and performed. Here, in a collection of papers from an international cast, scholars explore both established questions, such as the playwright's subtleties of characterisation, his relation to contemporary Roman spectacle and art - and the problems arising in translating him to modern text or stage.
As the Romans Did
This collection of original sources in translation provides a picture of Roman social life from the private to the public, and from the bottom to the top of the Roman social classes. Aimed at students of Roman civilization, it includes an introduction, commentary, notes, glossary, and index of sources
Human Knowledge and Self-Deception
Sophocles' Antigone has been a play of wide and enduring popular appeal. Ironically, however, it is also one of the most controversial of ancient Greek tragedies, and its many admirers have seldom reached agreement in their interpretations of the play. Consequently an enormous body of scholarship exists, presenting a bewildering array of opinions on just about every conceivable aspect of the play. And one major area of dispute has been the identi…
Revenge or Resignation
Seneca's Agamemnon is a revenge-drama; there is little scholarly dispute about this point. Agamemnon takes revenge on Troy, and then returns home to fall victim to Clytemnestra's desire for revenge. However the connection, if indeed one exists, between these two acts of vengeance has been a point of considerable scholarly disagreement. The issue of revenge is, of course, not limited to Agamemnon and Clytemnestra because many acts of vengeance are…

The Dramatization of Inner Experience
Attempts to determine an absolute chronology for the composition of Seneca's tragedies have been frustrated by our lack of both external and internal evidence for dating. Even a relative chronology moreover will be open to dispute as long as we must depend almost solely on metrical, stylistic and linguistic considerations. Recently, for example, Calder has questioned the opinion of Leo, and other scholars, that Agamemnon was written before Thyest…
