Albertino Mussato e le «Troades» di Seneca

Abstract

This paper offers an analysis of the relations between Albertino Mussato and Seneca’s tragedy, particularly between Mussato’s «Ecerinis» and Seneca’s «Troades». This latin tragedy has a big influence on «Ecerinis», by frequent allusions and quotations, and by the themes of war, cruelty and fortune.
