Inset play, Auctor, Furia, meta-drama, framing play, generic markers DOI: ![]() This dialogical interaction between the beginning and end of Thyestes allows the audience to prefigure that Atreus will not be the eventual champion of tragic plot, as he arrogantly asserts at the play’s end, but that revenge will continue in the next generation of the same house, exactly as foreshadowed in the opening Act. The open-ended closure of the narrower play with its reference to Thyestes’ prayer to the avenging gods brings to mind the theme of continuing revenge within the family, as outlined by Furia. The narrow plot in Thyestes proper, where Atreus appears as both instigator and inset poet, dramatizes only one aspect of the broader drama by Furia, thus functioning as an illustration of how everything foretold in her speech will come to pass. The opening Act of Seneca’s Thyestes dramatizes the construction of a broader play within a play on the demise of the house of Tantalus, in which Furia is a meta-poet.
