Resumen

This paper discusses one of the most prominent receptions of Seneca’s tragedies, Vittorio Alfieri’s Agamemnon. By means of a close reading of Alfieri’s rewriting of Seneca’s Agamemnon, the paper argues that Alfieri fixed some of Seneca’s problems in the characterisations of Clytemnestra, Agamemnon, Electra, and Aegisthus. Also, it deals with two themes of Alfieri’s tragedy, death and tyranny.
