Oreste nella tragedia latina arcaica
Abstract
Orestes is a hero who has strong connections to Italy and with Rome through Magna Graecia. Such connections are evident in Pacuvius’ work, especially in the Chryses. The discussion of some fragments on natural philosophy shows that philosophical speculation enters Latin drama following the same path. The reception of this speculation embraces its entire complexity and is expressed using sophisticated language.
