La Semiótica del furor regni: el Thyestes de Séneca

Abstract

The narratological analysis when applied to the study of drama allows us to cast light and formalize aspects which have passed unnoticed to traditional philology. In this paper we have applied this theoretical model to Thyestes, following the same line of our previous papers on Fedra and Medea, analizing the narrative mechanism and the semantic structures of the story, and this, we consider, is a compulsory step in order to elaborate a General Grammar of Drama in Seneca.
