Abstract

When analyzed in the context of the play as a whole, the fifth choral ode of Seneca?s Oedipus emerges as a summation of the Senecan dystopia. The purpose of its Stoic language is to underscore the difference between Stoicism?s rational and optimistic cosmology and the universe to which humanity and divinity alike are consigned?a universe presided over by a sadistic and arbitrary Fate.
