Oedipus by Seneca
Oedipus (Oidipus) is a tragic play that was written by Lucius Annaeus Seneca at some time during the 1st century AD. It is a retelling of the story of Oedipus, as told in Oedipus the King by the Athenian playwright, Sophocles. It is written in Latin and was not intended to be performed, but rather recited at private gatherings.
However, it has been very influential, the source of a number of adaptations itself, including Oedipus by Ted Hughes (1969), [[Oedipus by Oedipus by Hugo Claus (19**),
