VIZZOTTI, Martín. Libido y luxuria en la tragedia de Séneca. Circe clás. mod. [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.1, pp.123-140. ISSN 1851-1724.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.19137/circe-2021-250106.

In this article we look into two tragedies in which the concepts of libido and luxus play an important role within the tragic representation: Phaedra and Thyestes show on stage two different representations of luxury, each driven by a particular kind of libido, which may seem to go along the usual admonitory and moral representation of Seneca’s time. But these tragedies go a little bit further, because by presenting rhetorically on stage the paupertasand also a return to a Natural state, they actually deconstruct the idea of Nature by presenting it as an artifice.
