The manuscripts of the eight extant Latin tragedies identify the plays as the Marci Lucii Annei Senecae Tragoediae. Since nobody of that name is known, modern scholars believe the dramas to be the work of Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger, the well-known philosopher, orator and politician. Clearly the tragedies were written during Seneca’s lifetime: internal references to earlier poets, most notably Ovid, indicate that the dramas cannot have been composed prior to the second decade C.E., and the plays must have been written by 96 C.E., when Quintilian quotes Medea, one of the tragedies.
It is remarkably, however, that Seneca himself never mentions the plays, since there are certain passages in them that could be used to illustrate points of his philosophy. There are at least two possible explanations. In the early Roman Empire, playwrights were sometimes exiled or executed for line constructed as directed against the emperor; thus, Seneca’s silence may be simple prudence. But if anyone could safely attach his name to dramas, surely it would be Seneca, the emperor’s tutor. And although Herrmann offers Seneca’s modesty as an explanation, Seneca is not averse to referring to his other writings. The evidence for equating Seneca with the author of the tragedies seems circumstantial. [br] The author of the passage would most likely agree that if Seneca had in fact written the tragedies, then Seneca probably would have
选项
A、used the plays as platforms for his philosophical ideas
B、referred to the plays in some of his other writings
C、been in danger of exile or execution for certain line in the plays
D、avoided attaching his name to be the plays out of modesty
E、written the plays during the latter portion of his lifetime
答案
B
解析
第二段第五句:“Seneca is not averse to referring to his other writings”,由此可知,如果塞涅卡真的写了这些悲剧,他也会在其他作品中提及这些悲剧的,故选项B正确。A项根据第二段第一句,我们只知道这八部悲剧中的一些文章可以体现塞涅卡的哲学思想,但是这并不能说明如果塞涅卡写了这八部悲剧就会把它们当成展示哲学思想的平台。C项根据第二段第四句,就算塞涅卡写了一些大逆不道的东西,也不会被流放。D项认为塞涅卡谦虚的是赫尔曼,不是作者。E项无法从文中得知。
