Abstract

In Seneca’s tragedies the tyrant does not figure with the same pre-eminence that he would go on to acquire in Renaissance tragedy. The aim of this paper is to outline the cultural framework within which the tyrant as a «mask of the villain» (D. Lanza) is viewed in both the theatre of Seneca and its later reinterpretations.
