Abstract

In Seneca's Thyestes a large number of elements are transformed into indications of the imperial age allowing the logos of the myth to be recorded in time, while in the same time the literary narrative becomes multifaceted and abstract touching on the limits of the symbolic and the timeless. The tragedy, which is influenced not only by the rhetoric but also by Stoic philosophy, is based on the balance and intensity of political concepts, while its perspective offers a collection of opposite though combined inner forces and indicates a unity of past, present and future.
