Caput 10: Quonam tempore scripserit

from De Senecae tragoediis · host Valahfridus Stroh

Nec defuerunt uiri docti qui his singulis temporibus aut omnes aut complures tragoedias adscriberent. Nam Fridericus Leo (1878) multas, certe Oedipodem et Agamemnonem, iuuentuti tribuere uoluit, propter puerilem quandam imitationem metrorum Graecorum in choris. Otto Herzog (1928) Thyeste maxime nisus de temporibus exilii (cons. Helv. 20,1) cogitauit. Consideratius, puto, Carolus Muenscher (1922) a praeceptore et imprimis ab amico Neronis tragoedias scriptas esse uoluit, quod tum temporis (inde ab a. 54) effloruerunt Musae Latinae, ut quasi noua aetas Augusta redisse uideretur. Ad haec tempora etiam pertinent quae Quintilianus (8,3,31) de Pomponio cum Seneca de sermone tragico disputante et Tacitus (ann. 14,52) de Seneca carmina crebrius factitante scribunt. Ceterum Senecam etiam in secessu illo tragoedias aliquas fecisse uel ex eo uerisimile est quod Thebaidem imperfectam reliquit.
