Seneca (about 4 BC ~ 65 AD) was a famous Stoic philosopher in ancient Rome, a writer of Roman tragedies, and a mentor and consultant of Emperor Nero. Seneca's tragedies are all based on Greek myths and legends, and there are nine existing ones: Crazy Hercules, trojan women, Phoenician Maiden, Medea, Fidra, Oedipus, Agamemnon, Titus and Hercules on Mount Ota. Octavia, another tragedy, was once considered as Seneca's work, but now it is generally considered as a copy of others.
The artistic feature of Seneca's tragedy is to reflect certain real life and the author's thoughts and feelings through mythical themes. Seneca also likes to describe crazy, murder, suicide, ghosts and other terrible events, so his plays can only be read by people, and it is difficult to perform. This kind of tragedy, called seneca-style, had a great influence on the tragedy creation in the Renaissance of Europe.
