Seneca: Thyestes (Duckworth Companions to Greek &… by Peter J. Davis

Davis' analysis of the most gruesome play to survive from the ancient world is excellent. Of particular interest are his chapters analysing the role of Thyestes in the play and his notes on the chorus. Furthermore, his summary of the reception of this play is wonderful: he places the 'Thyestes' well within the theatrical tradition. His style is crisp but maintains the scholarly register with ease. Recommended for anyone interested in Classical drama.
