===Seneca's tragedies=== ''[[Fabulae crepidatae]]'' (tragedies with Greek subjects): * ''[[Hercules (Seneca)|Hercules]]'' or ''Hercules furens'' (''The Madness of Hercules'') * ''[[Troades (Seneca)|Troades]]'' (''The Trojan Women'') * ''[[Phoenissae (Seneca)|Phoenissae]]'' (''The Phoenician Women'') * ''[[Medea (Seneca)|Medea]]'' * ''[[Phaedra (Seneca)|Phaedra]]'' * ''[[Oedipus (Seneca)|Oedipus]]'' * ''[[Agamemnon (Seneca)|Agamemnon]]'' * ''[[Thyestes (Seneca)|Thyestes]]'' * ''[[Hercules Oetaeus]]'' (''Hercules on Oeta''): generally considered not written by Seneca. First rejected by [[Daniël Heinsius]]. ''[[Fabula praetexta]]'' (tragedy in Roman setting): * ''[[Octavia (play)|Octavia]]'': almost certainly not written by Seneca (at least in its final form) since it contains accurate prophecies of both his and Nero's deaths.<ref>R Ferri ed., ''Octavia'' (2003) pp. 5–9</ref> This play closely resembles Seneca's plays in style, but was probably written some time after Seneca's death (perhaps under [[Vespasian]]) by someone influenced by Seneca and aware of the events of his lifetime.<ref>H J Rose, ''A Handbook of Latin Literature'' (London 1967) p. 375</ref> Though attributed textually to Seneca, the attribution was early questioned by [[Petrarch]],<ref>R Ferri ed., ''Octavia'' (2003) p. 6</ref> and rejected by [[Justus Lipsius]].
