Keywords:

ferox, hostile chorus, Medea, Seneca, Latin drama, abdicatio

Abstract

Seneca accentuates Medea’s cruelty. The hostility manifested by the chorus is determining for the new construction of this character. In particular, it is very interesting the way in which Medea commits infanticide, through the rejection and disavowal of her children.
