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.
The author mentions Medea primarily in order to
选项
A、give an example of a play in which references to certain authors can be used to determine when the Marci Lucii Annei Senecae Tragoediae were composed
B、acknowledge the possibility that the Marci Lucii Annei Senecae Tragoediae may have been written by Quintilian rather than Seneca
C、suggest that certain of the Marci Lucii Annei Senecae Tragoediae may have been written near the end of Seneca’s lifetime
D、argue that Marci may have been one of the last of the eight plays in the Marci Lucii Annei Senecae Tragoediae to be written
E、indicate how the latest possible date for the time period during which the Marci Lucii Annei Senecae Tragordiae were composed might be established
答案
E
解析
本题属于功能题。本题定位到第一段第一句,其3s版本是“对悲剧完成时间的推测”。因此应该选择和时间有关的选项,选项E正确。在这句中,昆体良引用了《美狄亚》,说明这时《美狄亚》已经被完成了,所以八部悲剧的完成时间最晚不能晚于昆体良引用《美狄亚》的时间。A项如果选择选项A,那么a play in which references to certain authors表明的是《美狄亚》这部剧中提及了某些作家,而这可以用来确定八部悲剧的创作时间。但是根据原文,我们只知道有的作家引用了《美狄亚》,看不出来《美狄亚》里面引用了哪些作家。
