In this new translation Seneca's poetic account of this classic story
reveals the passion for rhetoric that was to have such a strong
influence on Elizabethan drama and particularly on Marlowe
and the young Shakespeare

In his madness he will commit atrocities that will preclude his ascension to Heaven
